Open Source Meets Open Source Economic Development: How Cool is That?!

Once again, the power of networks.

We haven't even had the chance to meet face-2-face yet, but Athena Diamantis, Director of Sales for SourceLabs (Just celebrating SWiK's First Birthday! Over 1 Million unique visitors served, and 10,000 wiki pages created), connects to Bruce Perens, a founding father of Open Source. Read more here.

Bruce may be coming from Berkely to Defrag in April. Bruce Perens is a wealth of knowledge and insight about working in Open Spaces. (What can digital media entrepreneurs learn?)

Northeast Ohio has a lot to learn about these new (really, not new) ways of working to catalyze unprecendented exponential growth.

Sounds scary, doesn't it? And, out of control?

Maybe, but consider what we have now: a no growth (No Growth.) region and the polar caps are melting. Not good indicators.

Open Source Economic Development tools and practices provides a way for us to get there from here by building the transformative initiatives we need to make the Big Shifts toward change.

Open Source meets Open Source Economic Development. Thanks Ahthena! We look forward to meeting you F2F at Defrag!
