Infrastructure

One major project I am working on is the the creation of a distributed learning object repository network, or DLORN. The intent and purpose of DLORN is to create a learning object marketplace. The idea here is to build an underlying infrastructure that all players in the learning object economy can take advantage of. Of course we have partners in the public and private sector and of course the standard refrain is that you can't make money from open source. I try to explain that while nobody makes money off the infrastructure itself, everybody can make money from the resulting activity that rides the infrastructure. Still fuzzy? This slide show by Doc Searls (author of the Cluetrain Manifesto) makes the concept a lok clearer. It's 62 jpg slides, so make your way through the story near the beginning to get to the good stuff.
