Abstract
Abstract This entry illuminates the common concepts and widely observed practices concerning open sourcing. Positioning “open source” as a common practice and a viable methodology for collaborative participatory co‐production in today's knowledge society, the entry explains how open source co‐production participatory methods, now also seen in culture, food, and beverage production and consumption, have evolved from the Free/Libre Open Source Software ( FLOSS ) movement; what motivates people to participate; and how such widely observed open source practices are embedded in different sectors and different societies. It is argued that open source practices resemble amateur do‐it‐yourself ( DIY ) maker practices and can be considered as a lifestyle choice.
