<br>
The May 2011 issue of the OSBR is now available at <a href="http://osbr.ca" target="_blank">osbr.ca</a>. The editorial<br>
theme for this issue is Technology Entrepreneurship. In this issue, we have<br>
the following articles:<br>
<br>
Michael Ayukawa, founder of Cornerportal, reflects upon the shifts in his<br>
entrepreneurial world view framework and highlights the transformative<br>
effect of collectives on an entrepreneur's view of their environment and<br>
options.<br>
<br>
Natasha D�Souza, founder of Virtual EyeSee, illustrates how the<br>
implementation of an idea depends on the entrepreneur's approach to<br>
development and commercialization. The article focuses on leveraging<br>
collectives to increase the likelihood of entrepreneurial success.<br>
<br>
Fred Dixon, CEO of Blindside Networks, shares key lessons learned while<br>
balancing the demands of building a business and nurturing the open source<br>
project that the business depends on.<br>
<br>
Arthur Low, founder and CTO of Crack Semiconductor, retraces the history of<br>
key advances in the integrated circuits and electronic design automation<br>
tool industry to show that a shift from proprietary to open source tools now<br>
means that viable business models exist for small companies to create<br>
advanced silicon intellectual property.<br>
<br>
Igor Sales and Aparna Shanker from Carleton University's TIM program<br>
outline their plans to bring together freelance Android developers and<br>
software development firms using a platform that proves the expertise and<br>
reputation of developers.<br>
<br>
For the upcoming June issue, we continue the theme of Technology<br>
Entrepreneurship. We encourage any entrepreneurs who wish to share their<br>
insights and lessons to submit articles for this issue before May 15th. In<br>
July, we focus on Women Entrepreneurs and welcome submissions that shed<br>
light on the particular challenges of increasing the number of women in<br>
founding and leadership positions. Please contact me (<a href="mailto:chris.mcphee@osbr.ca">chris.mcphee@osbr.ca</a>),<br>
if you are interested in submitting an article for either of these themes;<br>
we also welcome general submissions on the topic of open source business or<br>
the growth of early-stage technology companies.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
