"open-source party"

http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/11/26/the-open-source-party-proposal/

Hmm. This all seems a bit fuzzy, even for early stages...but it's an interesting idea.

What seems odd (to me) about it is that the proposed platform explicitly eschews addressing some pretty straightforward issues on which some useful progress has been made (several aspects of voting reform) and instead incorporates elements that seem sufficiently far out to ensure that the organization would be a splinter group at best (redesigning money).

But so far as the overall concept is concerned, I kind of like it.
