My latest article for the Social Business News website went live today. It provides some examples of how the open source movement generally kicks arse at innovation. In particular they:
- Modularize the content – thus making it very easy for people to work on small chunks of a project.
- Encourage small contributions – thus removing a major barrier of entry and ensuring they get lots of contributions
- Make it easy for people to find information – all open source projects make it dead easy for you to see what's already been done, what people are working on and issues they're having. It's a key element of any collaboration.
Anyway, I've fleshed out each point more in the article so stop by and check it out today.
