With so many blogs today and new ones popping up every day, I imagine you could easily decide the world just doesn’t need yet another guy telling a story or trying to get his thoughts heard and I couldn’t agree more. That is why I haven’t had a blog before. My years in high technology, my experience with Linux and the open source community, and now the obvious role for collaboration in this new era of enterprise applications tell me that those who work in and work with technology enjoy conversations about the effects technology has on making a difference in the world. So I have decided to jump into the blogging world.
I’ll be traveling to New York City in a couple of weeks to meet with banking members of our core teams who are looking for new ways to develop software at a fraction of traditional costs and open up new opportunities for everyone. These types of conversations have always provided me with more to think about as my team and I adapt collaborative software development and community sourcing across various vertical industries. In a completely different industry struggling with the same issues of collaboration I was in Utah late last year talking to a group of subject matter experts (doctors, nurses, epidemiologists) about how they want to advance our TriSano platform, which was developed using the community sourcing model in the public health sector as part of a public/private partnership.
I’ve found recently that a few folks have heard the term community source, and for those who have, they don’t fully grasp its definition in the context of software development. I’ll look forward to illustrating this through my experiences and conversations with other leaders from across industries as the year unfolds. From time to time, I’ll likely use this blog to comment on industry news I find relevant to the model for which we’re blazing the trail.
My goal is to spark discussion on a variety of topics important to our customers, prospects and the industry at large. Your comments and views are critical to this conversation and I look forward to hearing from you.
