Dear Commoonity and Space Enthusiasts!
While having the last STS Mission orbiting us, the fifth annual GLXP-TeamSummit is just on its way.
And we aren´t with you, because c-base Open Moon has sadly to announce its withdrawal today after 923 days being in the operational competition.
After long and difficult discussions we had to come to the conclusion that we aren´t able to keep up with the requirements of the last Master Team Agreement.

Open Moon will perform a breakout session at Dresden Future Forum next week, talking about open innovation and how communities handle complex projects.
The Future Forum investigates new spaces in life and business and wants to work out ways how changes and challenges can be faced.
A good chance to attract Ray Kurzweil and Sir Tim Berners-Lee to be part of our session between their speaks.

December 10, 2009 - by Community Innovation as Open Business Model
Open Moon Managing Consultant Patrick Sbrzesny gave a lecture on Community Innovation as an Open Business Model to the Federal Association of German Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. His simple question was:
“Can communities that create the biggest encyclopedia in history also fly to the moon?”
Have a look onto his slideshow.
