- 36. User innovation in open source, commercial products • Their 'customers' are modifying and improving 'their' product, • adding extensions, • making software tools, • generating printable content, • testing materials, • trying out innovative applications
- 37. Conventional Making • Mostly inefficient. • Quality is lacking! Non-replicable. • Do's and Don't of Making!
- 38. Conventional Making • Mostly inefficient. • Quality is lacking! Non-replicable.
- 39. Do Don't!
