Open Source Document
Freely accessible research, methodologies, and resources organized by theme. All materials available for download, adaptation, and collaborative development.
Open Source Principle
Like fermentation cultures that are freely shared to propagate beneficial bacteria, we believe knowledge should circulate openly to nourish collective wisdom. All our research, methodologies, and creative resources are available under Creative Commons licenses, encouraging adaptation, remixing, and collaborative development.
When you build upon our work, we ask only that you share your adaptations back to the commons, maintaining the gift economy that sustains collaborative knowledge creation.
