Hi Joi Ito,
I just sent you an email, but thought I'd try to contact you via the wiki as well. I'm at the SXSW festival and attending your panel "Common-based Business Models". I'm looking forward to talk with you about the open source community in which I've been active and a business model that I've been crafting. -Nate <natea (at) jazkarta (dot) com>
