Session Abstract: Open Innovation and Open Source
I’ve worked up this abstract for a session that I’ll present at Stefan Doeblin’s Leadership by (Open) Innovation in the Telecom, IT and Media Industries – an event to be held in Munich on April 24th, 2008. While at the event, I’ll also be participating in a panel titled, “Beyond Methods, Processes, and Tools: The Fundamental Drivers to Succeed in Open Innovation”I’ll post additional information as I work on the session.

Sweet. I just submitted a proposal for a talk at OSCON (to be given with Chris Beard) that might be informed some by your talk. I’ll be watching as you get the talk together.
here’s the proposal I submitted:
>Over the years, many have said what Open Source cannot do. They’ve said that
>Open Source cannot design great user experience, cannot appeal to consumers,
>and cannot be financially sustainable. But most of all, critics have charged
>that Open Source cannot innovate.
>
>There are few that would question Mozilla’s successes around those first three
>”cannots” but the questions around innovation persist. Over the last few years,
>Mozilla has been increasing its investments in projects that it hopes will
>foster increased innovation both inside and outside of the browser. While it’s
>still early in the game, and the processes and programs are still young, there
>are good indications that this myth too will fall.
>
>Join Mozilla’s Asa Dotzler and Chris Beard as they discuss the processes of
>innovation at Mozilla, including the Mozilla Labs program, the Mozilla add-ons
>ecosystem, and the Mozilla Firefox web browser.
