Rumination on innovation
The New York Times has an interesting piece on Eric von Hippel’s new “Democratizing Innovation” (Oooh…a Creative Commons license!) in the April 20 edition. Not directly up our alley here, but it does make some nice, perhaps belaboured connections between kite surfing (extreme sports as open-source exemplar, anyone?) and Linux.
(Hat tip to O’Reilley’s new Radar blog. They use words like “obviate” without a hint of irony, but we like ‘em anyway.)
