Lessons from Flourish 2010

My latest contribution to the Edelman Digital site includes my thoughts on how PR can learn from the open-source software communities.

In any event, it’s a good bet that many in that same group have never really engaged with that community.

Truth is PR (and, specifically, PR practitioners who have a focus on community engagement) can learn plenty from the “Free, Libre, and Open-Source Software” (FLOSS) community.
