This was part of a 3-person talk about “open” for Refresh – a group of designers, developers and creatives. The Triangle NC group is experimenting with doing 3-person talks (one design, one development, one business) this year, and I represented the business perspective. The talks are supposed to be jumping off points for a larger conversation, and I knew the other people would outdo me on slide design, so I embraced the ugly. The other speakers were Ben Scofield http://www.slideshare.net/bscofield/open-source-a-call-to-arms and Akira Morita http://prezi.com/-q_c_gj8tg63/open-web-and-the-designers-role/
