From OpenDevelopment

Hi!

Welcome to my user page. I'm Jaakko Helleranta and confess without guilt of having been involved with coining the very idea of Open Development as we -- and hopefully you too -- talk about it here.

I'm absolutely thrilled about this project and look forward to seeing were it takes us.

For the time being, you can find more information about me easiest via a few pointers:

• My LinkedIn profile: linkedin.com/in/jhelleranta (basics of the professional me),
• My Plaxo profile: via snipURL.com/jaakko-plaxo (which is my preferred interface for linking with people I've met .. on top of email),
• My Google Profile: via snipURL.com/jaakko-google (following the old wisdom of "Show me your bookshelf and I know who you are": a stack of links to my favorite social web services),
• My personal blog: Life by the Potomac River (not very frequently updated...), and last but not least
• My home page: www.helleranta.fi (just 3 pointers forward but this will stay "for ever" -- the URL on me that makes most sense to bookmark, if any).

Texts on Open Development

• My rambling initial (and not-so-well-formulated) thoughts on Open Development in my note A Case for Open Development
• A Proposal for Initiating the Open Development Wiki
