Open Source Debate (OSD) is a movement encompassing various proposals for increasing the availability of Policy Debate Evidence . Proposals range from "caselists" or "casebooks" compiliations of the cites of evidence read by teams at a given tournament which are disseminated in paper or on the internet to complete, prior disclosure of the exact evidence which teams read in round (as blocked, etc.). Most debate files, especially those produced at large programs, exist electronically having been scanned in. However, even when they appear on the internet, access to such archives is tightly controlled. OSD has its roots in both Open Source advocates who happen to belong to the debate community and ongoing discussions about resource disparities between debate programs. |
