Hey Dave,

I understand that you’re right about the massive business and the greater success in being private… but it’s not what i’m trying to do in this presentation. I’m selling openness and seeing what kind of response i get.

There are certainly public sector and non-profit applications, but the big challenge, and one i doubt i will succeed at, is to convince the private sector that creativity is connected to openness. The exercise, at the end of the day, is mostly about me learning to talk without the jargon and to a non-partisan crowd. I’ll be posting the final draft in a couple of hours…
