Musing lazily on your post (and a good night's sleep) makes me wonder if alignment around a common foe might be one condition that can help VRM succed. Indeed, I would submit that focus on a common foe might be useful in galvanising any movement, particularly those 'up the stack' which lack easy scale and need to work harder to shift from scarcity to abundance. Hmm, I think I feel a blog-post (or something) moving. Take care JP, and keep musing - I was reading Everthing is Miscellaneous when your library laws post came along and that certainly hieghtened my interest in the book.

I'm a part of Collaborative Software Initiative. Some very exciting things are happening. To build on your comment re: vertical software & open source, back in January, I broke that category up a bit: http://fuzzypanic.blogspot.com/2008/01/open-source-marching-up-vertical-stack.html I really need to post again on this topic as there is even more there. The part that excites me personally the most is what I called the "industry boat lifters". It truly is fascinating to be a part of open source in vertical markets.

Here are my views on VRM and open source. Hence the Mine! project is open source - the only way, in my view, to get VRM going. http://www.mediainfluencer.net/2008/05/i-haz-a-mine-let-me-show-you-it/ Agreed.
