Success secrets of Open Source project teams
Stumble It!Open Source Software (OSS) Development Projects use bioteaming
I attach a 2-page article by Brian Teeman, Roles and responsibilites of users and community members in an open source project.
Brian describes the inner workings of an open source software (OSS)development project based on his experience in developing the Mambo product.
Open Source Software development projects are one of the strongest emerging examples of bioteaming behavior.
Three things strike me immediately when I read Brian's account:
- Personal motivations are crystal clear for every team member
- All work is voluntary and the leader cannot give orders
- Each project passionately nurtures its network of supporters
If you check out my earlier article, The secret DNA of high-performing virtual teams, you will see these agree exactly with the three action rules "Tit for Tat", "Stop Controlling" and "Cluster".
I encourage you to read Brian's article and see how many more bioteam principles you can find.

The short message phenomenon challenged
We are bombarded with the idea its good to talk and its good to text. But is texting and other forms of mobile phone interaction a useful form of communication? Or is it even a form of communication at all or something totally different? In a mini-book "Heidegger, Habermas and the mobile phone" the author invokes some key thinkers of the twentieth century to offer an essential alternative to the new doctrine of 'm-communication': Martin Heidegger, who saw humanity as ‘the entity which talks’ and Jürgen Habermas, current-day advocate of authentic communication.
