Bryan, I don't know if this is the best place to give a comments, but I just finished reading "catalyst_in_chief". In particular, the article entitled, "Appreciating the power of open".
The beauty of that article is it exposes to me that "open" is not all good, and "closed" is not all bad. Let me explain. As explained "open" includes sharing, collaborating and being transparent. Lets say, you have a project you're working on or a product you're developing and would like to be more open about it to help improve it. So, you expose your concerns to the world and wait to see what happens. That is the sharing element. You notice questions and comments coming back. Some are really important and others are worthless. That is the collaborating element. So, you decide to work closely with the people with the really important comments and close out the worthless ones. Note, you're remaining open for some and closed for others, which I think is good. Then, as you expose more and some of those people also start exposing more, then you decide you want to stay open with them. But, when you expose more to some people you seem to be getting a lot of silence. So, you start to close up too. Here again, I think this is good, as you're creating the community that can best address the problem. Simply, you sharing and observe the response. You try to collaborate and observe the response. You try to be transparent and observe the response. Through observation the ideal community can be created for any issue. I really like that article. Please pass it on to the appropriate comments section.
