I'm an Account Manager for the Brand Communications + Design team at Red Hat. I also work on exciting projects for opensource.com as the Marketing Manager for email and webcasts. My voice is the one you hear at the beginning of each Open Your World webcast and I'm the one that gets nervous about how many emails we send out to you all. I live and work in Raleigh, NC, but I was born and raised between Boston and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. (Go Red Sox!)
Hearing stories about how radical transparency, collaboration, and other open source principles can transform organizations and challenge conventional thought is pretty exciting to me. And it's a little addicting.

It seems as though when you invest in people and enable them to be informed decision-makers then they can be strong stewards of your culture and your future. Why? Because you're trusting them to make decisions based on a framework or an understanding of why things are as they are and progress as they progress. The alternative yields a didactic, "say/do this not that," top-down approach that doesn't enable people to grow or understand an overall direction at the same rate. Completely unsustainable. The only thing that approach would be good for would be ensuring the need for more managers to "manage" people's decisions for them. LONG LIVE OPEN!
Dear fellow opensource.com'ers,
It was an absolute pleasure and thrill to meet General Shelton today for our webcast. This would not have been possible without the passion and enthusiasm that you all have for opensource.com-- passion that continually helps the seeds of open source grow. Thanks for giving us a chance to bring even more great people into our community.
