Stormy,
I am the guest editor for a special issue on "Enterprise Consumer Participation" of the Open Source Business Resource (www.OSBR.ca). OSBR has become a very well read and respected resource in the business community and has a fantastic track record of publishing great articles for the past couple years. Doug Levin, Mike Milinkovich, Russ Nelson, Cliff Schmidt and YOU are some examples of recent OSBR authors. Contributions have come from organizations like FreeBSD, Mozilla, EA Mobile, Intel and many others.
I would like to invite you (or someone you trust and could designate) to contribute an article to the January 2009 issue of the OSBR.ca. I would be open to your ideas for content, but I think it would be fantastic to have you reprise your October 2007 article but from a pure software Consumer perspective – I.e., what are the issues that Consumers (non ISV's) face when contributing to software?
The length of the article needs to be more than 1,500 words and less than 3,000 words. Author guidelines are available here:
http://www.osbr.ca/ojs/index.php/osbr/about/submissions#authorGuidelines
The first draft is due by December 17th. Please let me know ASAP if you are able to contribute or have any questions.
The editor of the OSBR.ca is Ms. Dru Lavigne (dru osbr ca). She will ensure that your article is a great article should you choose to contribute.
- Don
