Dear All, I am pleased to let you know that Carliss Baldwin, Stefan Thomke, Eric von Hippel and I are hosting a workshop on open and user innovation at HBS in early August. The details for the conference are here http://userinnovation.mit.edu/conf08/attendee/new - we encourage your participation by submitting an abstract or paper for presentation on issues related to open and user innovation. I am sure many members of this list are researching related topics. PhD students may be interested in a special one day pre-meeting on August 3. Details are here http://userinnovation.mit.edu/conf08/student/new We look forward to your interest in the workshop. Best Karim -- Karim R.
