Shuttleworth Fellows Chat March 8 2012

• Helen Turvey - well - my passion is building this organisation that supports seriously smart people at the edges of development

• Marcin Jakubowski - My passion is creating the open source economy as a viable economic option. I live in a mud hut and meet Fortune 500 people all over the world. I have found that aggressive pursuit of strategic partners is key.

[1:08:29 PM CDT] Marcin Jakubowski, Ph.D.: I would want to travel and visit people in person, that has been my latest strategy. I think a dedicated facilitator or 'collaboration incubator' could help sniff out opportunities and present them to the potential collaborators. Focus on high vision and value generation sustains the process in long term - such as us doing production.

• Arthur Attwell - My passion is making book content accessible to everyone -- especially those who live far from bookstores or will never see a credit card or a computer. My project is Paperight. Essentially, we're making it possible for anyone with any printer to print books for their customers legally and easily. we have a very specific, audicious goal: *to put every book within walking distance of every home within five years* We leverage existing ebook and rights infrastructure to make it happen
