Dear Readers,

The May 2011 issue of the OSBR is now available at osbr.ca. The editorial
theme for this issue is Technology Entrepreneurship. In this issue, we have
the following articles:

Michael Ayukawa, founder of Cornerportal, reflects upon the shifts in his
entrepreneurial world view framework and highlights the transformative
effect of collectives on an entrepreneur's view of their environment and
options.

Natasha D’Souza, founder of Virtual EyeSee, illustrates how the
implementation of an idea depends on the entrepreneur's approach to
development and commercialization. The article focuses on leveraging
collectives to increase the likelihood of entrepreneurial success.

Fred Dixon, CEO of Blindside Networks, shares key lessons learned while
balancing the demands of building a business and nurturing the open source
project that the business depends on.

Arthur Low, founder and CTO of Crack Semiconductor, retraces the history of
key advances in the integrated circuits and electronic design automation
tool industry to show that a shift from proprietary to open source tools now
means that viable business models exist for small companies to create
advanced silicon intellectual property.

Igor Sales and Aparna Shanker from Carleton University's TIM program
outline their plans to bring together freelance Android developers and
software development firms using a platform that proves the expertise and
reputation of developers.

For the upcoming June issue, we continue the theme of Technology
Entrepreneurship. We encourage any entrepreneurs who wish to share their
insights and lessons to submit articles for this issue before May 15th. In
July, we focus on Women Entrepreneurs and welcome submissions that shed
light on the particular challenges of increasing the number of women in
founding and leadership positions. Please contact me (chris.mcphee at osbr.ca),
if you are interested in submitting an article for either of these themes;
we also welcome general submissions on the topic of open source business or
the growth of early-stage technology companies.

Kind regards,

Chris McPhee
