There's lots of talk about design thinking in business these days. We can't help but look at the collaborative efforts being spawned by this movement and see similarities to open source principles: Transparent process. Rapid prototyping. Creative thinking. We offer our own unique spin on the theory and several examples of design thinking in and outside of Red Hat. Also, don't miss our look at open source podcasting, a pair of Nashville pieces to prepare us for the Summit, and a preview of a new blogging tool called Lyceum.
