hi again, I'm replying to myself. It occurred to me that my post might look like spam since I didn't even say what kind of open source company I was proposing. Its an idea for an open source vegetarian fast food franchise.
This is what I came up with so far.
Apply the concept of open source software business model to a non-software company. It would work similar to a franchise operation but their won't need to be any franchise fees. Instead the website is community driven and defines the business mission and goals. Ideally the site will become a definitive source on what Double V represents and will set the standards that the franchisees will follow. Anyone will be able to do business as Double V as long as they abide by the expectations of the community. Using the Double V logo will become an honor and a sign of quality.
