@brantcooper no rush. Email sent from michael @ fandomhome.
@brantcooper @pv BTW, I'm working on a #custdev related design project. If you'd like early access, I'd appreciate your opinions.
@brantcooper May not be futile. 'Commercial Open Source' is no longer a common term, for example. OTOH, crowdsourcing isn't as well defined.
@brantcooper No, that's merely crowdvoting, and the popularity contest aspect isn't at issue.
@brantcooper in the broadest sense it can include design competitions, but IMO not winner-take-all ones. @pv @conrey @NikkiBlaker
@brantcooper OK, what definition includes design contests (which aren't new)? Also see 'bake-off' @pv @conrey @NikkiBlaker
@brantcooper @pv @conrey @NikkiBlaker Crowdsourcing implies multiple participants contributing toward a shared work.
@brantcooper @pv @conrey @NikkiBlaker IMO crowdsourcing design is a fine tactic, but that isn't what winner-take-all contests are.

@mozilladebbie If I apply to a Mozilla position and don't get it, is there a 'lockout' period before I can apply to another opening?
@emilylewis When I had neighbors, the track I would use for that purpose would be 'Boom Shakalaka' from Muppet Treasure Island.
