Be Humble and Open Minded Working in the open may seem like putting yourself out there, subject to criticism and judgement of others. But remember that no one knows everything. Opening up is an opportunity for you and your team to share what you are working on and enable unique collaboration experiences with colleagues and citizens alike. This approach is what made open source software projects so powerful and adopted across the whole world. It is also a good way to align with the Directive on Open Government as mentioned earlier. Of course, the official review process can still occur for each major revision of your documents. You simply ensure that in between such versions, the creation process is done openly and enables folks from all backgrounds to contribute.
