We believe that: - We need a digital platform to support working together on challenges: To achieve systematic change in how we work together on challenges requires inclusion and transparency. - By working together with our users, partners, businesses, researchers, and citizens that every day we reveal the infinite potential of collaboration. This is the key to success. - Public values should be central: We love tech. But not how tech is often used. We don’t want data and digital tools to exploit people. Interactions should benefit public values, rather than commercial or other interests. - We enable change. We put our energy and capabilities into building a solid open-source platform and trusted partnerships to innovate, develop, collaborate and make progress together. We are open, give you our beliefs and successes, and invite all who support the principles of this manifesto to join the community.
