Gary Hamel seems to suggest the open source model only works because there's an objective way to measure how good a contribution is ("if your code measures up, you're good enough"). But in the Fedora Project, all work is developed the same way, even the classicly "artistic" work of graphic design. I'd love to hear more about how collaboration works even in the areas that are considered highly creative.
