Other Uses of "Open Everything"

I just came across this post by Kenneth Ronkowitz about the term "Open Everything". It seems he's been using the term on his blog since the beginning of 2008. He managed to find his way from the (now deleted) Wikipedia article, to the Open Everything Wiki, to the Open Everything Hong Kong website all the way back to my blog. The interesting part was that he was able to connect me with P2PU and some other topics he'd been blogging about recently. The internet is getting smaller, I swear.

Open Everything

I saw your trackback to my post and arrived here.
I had been using a category called "Open Everything" on my blog for a year or so
http://dl.njit.edu/serendipity/index.php?/categories/38-Open-Everything
as a catch-all term since things in 2007 seemed to be moving beyond just open source software, and then I actually started using the term in posts in 2008.
I only discovered later that year that (as expected) i had not coined the phrase and that there were plenty of like-minded people out there.
I hadn't noticed that the Wikipedia entry was deleted (interesting and rather anti-open!) and their deletion log for the entry provides no real explanation.
