Have an idea?


Ship It!
Houston Open Development User Group
          http://www.houopendev.net
How many times have you said:
“I have this really cool idea for...”
“It’d be so cool if someone did...”
The Answer?
Ship It!




Image Take From http://shipitsquirrel.github.com/
When?
“Soon is not as good as now.”
                          “Poke the Box” by Seth Godin
Need Permission?
You have it!
Meet the Resistance
That’s a bad idea                               No one needs that
                With all that spare time you have?



      You don’t know how to do that

                                            You’d need help
You can’t do that

                           Someone already solved that problem


    No one will use that                         That’ll never work
Don’t Listen, Ignore
“Real artists ship”
            “Linchpin: Are You Indispensable” - Seth Godin

   ‘We’ll decide later,’
 but can build on top of
        ‘Done.’”
