OSCON 2005: Know When to Fold 'Em (O'ReillyNet)
O'ReillyNet covers
an OSCON keynote comparing the development of origami to the
development of open source software. "But much about origami changed
as we entered the modern era of folding about fifty years ago. Akira
Yoshizawa created new figures of artistic beauty. His new creations were
certainly groundbreaking and pushed the art in new directions, but Lang
explained that an even more important contribution was Yoshizawa's language
for communicating designs. "He developed a written instructional
language. A way of presenting origami information. This was the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol of origami. It was created in 1950 and we've had 50 years
to build on it.""
