" Introducing these ideas to government somehow might also be interesting." Might also significantly change those collaboration ideas you already find interesting, rendering some, or even many, archaic. I'm thinking an idea might come along that becomes the predominant collaboration scheme because it works so well, supplanting many businesses as well as these things we surreptitiously call governments nowadays.

Hi all, just to point an interesting EU funded project (there are some from time to time) about bridging the gap between the real world and the open source driving forces. The list of non-code OS projects is striking.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nicola - I agree, most business books could get away with being 10% as long!

Mark - I kept thinking about you as I read the book. All this stuff is very close to your heart. I saw Kate the other day. Good to hear SearchRev is doing well.

I just finished to read the book and:
a) it has the usual style of many american books: here is the brand new world come and see;
b) i do not understand why books must be all the same lenght: most of the times the authors repeat the same things again and again... 100 pages less and it would have been better.
c) it would have been great if examples were more in depth. Ie, I think one of the most interesting one is the story of Boeing 787, but it is just an anecdote.
In conclusion is a good introductory book but, as an exepert about social media, I would have apprecciated more detailed case histories.
Ciao. Nicola

To be fair, the rah-rah is probably somewhat necessary if one is talking about corporate environments.
