Dear Readers,

The November issue of the Open Source Business Resource is now available at
osbr.ca. The editorial theme for this issue of the OSBR is Economic
Development and the Guest Editor is Saad Bashir, Manager of the Economic
Development Branch at City of Ottawa. The authors include:

Robert Poole, entrepreneur and business intelligence consultant, describes
the creation of a new economic development platform for regional governments
and related stakeholders.

George Brown, President of the Ottawa Community Loan Fund, describes the
importance of microcredit for small businesses and illustrates how it acts
as a stimulant for economic development.

Bob Yates, Senior Partner at Yates, Thorn & Associates, examines the costs
and benefits of major event hosting on economic development, including the
decision-making processes and long-term strategies.

Sonia Riahi, Manager at Ottawa Innovation Challenge, reviews the diversity
of Ottawa's youth entrepreneurship programs to illustrate their benefits to
economic development.

Ian Graham, Founder of TheCodeFactory business incubator, proposes a
stakeholder-based model of business incubation to meet the challenges of a
knowledge-based economy.

David J. French, intellectual property attorney and CEO of Second Counsel
Services, explains why intellectual property will not save the economy and
encourages businesses to focus instead on innovating to deliver value and
meet the needs of their customers.

The editorial theme for the upcoming December issue of the OSBR is
Humanitarian Open Source and the guest editor will be Leslie Hawthorn, Open
Source Outreach Manager at Oregon State University Open Source Lab.
Submissions will be accepted up to November 15th. January's theme is The
Business of Open Source and submissions are due by December 1st. Please
