This one would be truly revolutionary when it comes along!
One of the groups called "open source co-operative", primarily belonging to retail industry (and backed by a manufacturing-based group) recently called a meeting of open-source enthusiasts to explain their concepts of open sourcing the retail supply chain.
No - not just to create open source solutions for retail chains, but to open up the whole logistics for public scrutiny. As customer, you would like to know what is the price at which something was procured at different points in supply chain, before you end up paying at the retail end. And by opening this process, this group wants to create a totally new model to enter booming market, which will hopefully get a major customer backing.
