Wikis are a great place for documentation and collaboration. pbwiki http://pbwiki.com/ is a free and great place to start a wiki. Along with Twitter I recommend that you check out Pownce who (IMO) has a better community base. The Pownce community has been part of similar user-input projects like this. How would you better involve the brewing/open source community to make this an even more collaborative effort? It would be awesome if you could collaborate with the Open Source Projects and create a beer with their names included. (Ex. Linux Lager, GNU Amber, etc). Another idea: Diggnation sponsorship. They really are not the open source community but it is the closely-related technology community and they just recently did a taping of an episode at Michelob and took some tour videos. Just some ideas See you in a week at GABF 2008 Just came across this project today….Sounds really cool

True to form, I’ve managed to do this just as the guys at Flying Dog are getting ready for another go ’round. They’re talking about Open Source Beer Project 2.0. (I always seem to get things just as the newer, better version is coming out.) From Flying Dog’s website: Collaborator has a full body with a sweet malt profile and a slight roast character. The complete recipe and printable labels are available for download at http://www.opensourcebeerproject.com/. We want to thank everyone who contributed to creating this beer, it truly was a collaboration. [...] […] Well, I finally got around to picking up a bottle.

Well, first off - in the spirit of Open-Source-ness, you start with the recipe you used for the last version. Maybe with suggestions for improvements. Something that I think would be really cool - have different recipes for different styles of beer. Have an open-source stout, an open-source doppelbock, and OS IPA, etc. You'd obviously limit the ones you actually bottle to those you think stand out the most - but that gives fans of a particular style a good reason to really try and amp up their favorite. • How would you better involve the brewing/open source community to make this an even more collaborative effort? Well, for the most part the thing I think you need to keep in mind is: release early, release often. Keep talking about the beer. Have a wiki! Make updates. Encourage updates. Since beer takes a "long" time to make, relatively speaking - and since the ingredients are tangible and increasingly expensive, discussion of the scientific basis behind particular recipe modifications should particularly be encouraged. It's important to remember - like Open Source Software, you're the gatekeepers of the recipe, so what you say goes. But there should be lively discussion about why, how, and what. • Any ideas on where to start collaborating on a new version of the Open Source Beer Project (v2.0)?
