# 4opens
The #dotcons can not be fixed, the #fashionistas who keep flocking to new “ethicalish” ones are the problem, not a solution.
The #4opens are a simple way to judge the value of an “alt/grassroots” tech project.
* Open data is the basic part of a project. Without this openness, they cannot function. Open data is essential for transparency and collaboration.
* Open source refers to “free software.” This keeps development healthy by increasing interconnectedness and fostering serendipity. Open licences, such as Creative Commons, ensure the freedom of software. Open source encourages collaboration and innovation.
* Open “industrial” standards are foundational for the open internet and WWW Open standards ensure interoperability and compatibility, enabling diverse systems to work together seamlessly.
* Open process is the most nebulous part but crucial for collaboration and trust. Examples include wikis and activity streams. Open process ensures that project workflows are transparent and participatory.
Its easy to become a #4opens project and join the #openweb path:
