- 28. MAKING MONEY OUT OF COMMUNITIES n "Community driven business (OSS business) = management of: - Project(s) - Communities - Business" Ossi-project 2007 ""Publishers of all types, from news to music, are unhappy that consumers won't pay for content anymore. At least, that's how they see it. In fact consumers never really were paying for content, and publishers weren't really selling it either. If the content was what they were selling, why has the price of books or music or movies always depended mostly on the format? Why didn't better content cost more?" Paul Graham 2009 "It is misleading to talk about Community or OSS business models, rather one should view them as drivers or enablers and creators of new business opportunities and find ways of capturing value in the opportunities they have brought about."
