28. WHY Espoo said NO to Apotti procurement (Jan 2013)?
• Huge financial and operational risks
• Only massive (US) corporations could bid on the project –
both on building and on maintenance phase
INSTEAD – a modular, open source based system

so much time in their technique and movements
that they didn’t want to give it up,
so they stuck with what they knew.”
(Dick Fosbury)

organization or your community be

Open data often refers to government information which has been made available for free for anyone to use. However, also companies, other organizations and citizens publish open data. The openness of data means in practice that data has been made as easy as possible for anyone to use. The level of openness can vary in different aspects. The most important ones are technical accessibility, free access, reuse permitting licensing, findability and understandability. The more the use of data is restricted, on purpose or accidentally, the less open it is.

This is Dick Fosbury - does anybody remember him? He is the man who invented the Fosbury Flop, and with it became the first human being to look at the skyle while high jumping - he simply jumped backward.
He is the man who invented the Fosbury Flop, and with it became the first human being to look at the sky while high jumping - he simply jumped backward. Before 1968, athletes used the straddle method - face down, clearing the bar with the leading arm and leg and then the stomach. Starting in 1962, the sand and wood shavings in the landing box were gradually replaced with foam rubber. Fosbury understood that foam is different from sand. It has no ”material memory”, so it can spring back, offering the jumper moew protection and more possibilty. He saw something that anyone else could have seen - the foam in the landing box as a signal of opportunity , an open discovery available to everyone.

It took a full decade before the Flop begin to dominate the sport - the revolution came about from the kids who saw it han nothing to lose. The kids saw it on TV and said - Gosh, that looks fun - let’s do it!
