What it means to be open
summary
A long practice of public, iterative work frames openness as habit not slogan: daily public posts for 1,598+ days, an engine called SandPond/CellPond (a single 8,000-line single JS file that still runs), a music/tool AR Roost that attracted contributions and a Conway’s Game of Life implementation by the community, a partial esoteric language (Dreambird) prototype, and a 136-piece community art project — all under the mantra normalize sharing scrappy fiddles.
