I've been reading the book and it's very refreshing. The definition is also novel. At least where I come from, it seems like the definition of an "open source foo" is passing law on it. I would love to hear about the impact that passing law (mandating open source, barring everything else, even mandating particular "types" of open source, behaviors and expectations) has had in the broader open source communities. When I take a look at the market share, contribution to broader projects, etc., of places where law has been passed, it is disheartening. See the focus being moved to open government, civism and knowledge sharing thru events is really refreshing. I think it's time for us as a community to step up and question the procurement law thingy where it hasn't been yielding results and come to a much necessary balance to move forward. Great job!
Just finished the book, I also enjoyed reading Ms. Yeaney's paper and how Mr. Whitehurst has bridged the story from 2011 to 2015. Link: http://www.managementexchange.com/story/democratizing-corporate-strateg…
