Sometimes it was embarrassing\u2014this commitment to process over content,&#8221;<!--more--> said Khalifa. &#8220;Open source has been great for us&#8211;the idea that the community decides ultimately what the content is that gets generated. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been dedicated to, that same spirit. Now because there&#8217;s other people doing it in different strata, it&#8217;s been great. People are beginning to understand that we&#8217;re dedicated towards process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond process, there\u2019s collaboration and cross-pollination. By allowing people with different interests and expertise to plan the individual content areas (they call them SPARKs), something bigger is created.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SPARKcon is definitely a bit on the open source platform because it allows us to bring in folks with smaller expertise to create something much bigger than we could, by programming or planning it all ourselves,&#8221; said Sara Powers from the Visual Arts Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Do you see an opportunity to bring an open source process to something you work on or a project you\u2019re passionate about? It could be related to school or work, business or personal. Maybe it\u2019s something creative like <a title=\"www.sparkcon.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkcon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">SPARKcon<\/a>. Or maybe its something in your community that can empower the organizers to improve an event the open source way.<\/p>\n<p>[yframe url=&#8217;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lRbvIZDHI5c&#8217;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted on opensource.com and licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA.
