C,mm,n: Shaping The Future Of Personal Mobility
C,mm,n is an open source project that aims to help create the future of sustainable personal mobility.
Launched in 2005 by the Netherlands Society for Nature and Environment, the project now has over 800 members with a core group of 80 making most of the action happen.
The group explains their electric car concept:
C,mm,n (pronounced ‘common’) is an open source community for sustainable personal mobility. You might think c,mm,n is about a new type of vehicle, and it’s true that we are developing a new type of electric car. But c,mm,n is more than that: it is a total mobility concept for the future. Our c,mm,nity is open to anyone with a creative, intelligent and enterprising perspective on mobility issues, and who wants to help create a better world. C,mm,n follows the open source model: as with open source software, we focus our services around the product. Anyone can use it to offer mobility services, just as long as any derived work produced is released back to the community under an open source licence.
