"Open source discourages laziness (because everyone can see the corners you’ve cut), it can get bugs fixed or at least identified much faster (many eyes), it promotes collaboration, and it’s a great training ground for skills development. I see no reason why open data shouldn’t bring the same opportunities to data projects." @gnat on #OpenData beyond data-over-the-wall, in 2010 (!) http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/03/truly-open-data.html

@Lambo@scholar.social @gnat@mastodon.social What a great post! Thanks for bringing it to our attention again.

But also very chilling to realize that it is from 2010 - and I do not feel like we have really moved much in the right direction since then. :-(
