Open workgroup and permanent workshop focused on skill sharing, and cooperative software development.

Motivation

Some free-software dev-groups tend to be become quite closed to outside contributors over time (examples of this can be the Linux dev-group lead by "benevolent dictator" Linus Torvalds or the Debian developers group which even Richard M. Stallman had difficulty joining). Nobody should be rejected simply because of inexperience, everybody can find their place learning, teaching or developing. It is argued that the centralist social model used in some dev-groups actually impair the development of the software itself, for example leading to unnecessary and wasteful forking.
