April 2007
The Defrag Ohio network o!ers an integrated,
multi-disciplinary approach to identify and
connect Ohio resources and capabilities in
creative digital media to accelerate business
development and the formation of next
generation industry clusters. Defrag quarterly
conferences illuminate new research, models and
projects leading business development with
disruptive innovations in response to envisioning
alternate futures. Unlike any other time in the
history of civilization, we are required to work
collaboratively as leaders and in teams to identify
gateway solutions capable of the scale and
interactivity needed to address critical world
challenges, such as climate change, renewable
energies and urban re-densification.
!
During the course of the conference we will
consider opportunities in five topic areas and
three cross-cutting themes. Next steps will
identify business opportunities leveraging the
process of Strategic Doing and Web 2.0
collaborative online project development
platforms. We will be joined by economic
development professionals and social software
practitioners guiding us in these next steps.
! employment.
The Defrag Declaration is being prepared as a
discussion draft for acceptance by participants to
bring attention to the important issues discussed
at the April conference. The Declaration serves as
a self-commitment by contributors to actively
support and implement new behaviors and
practices to accelerate open innovation in Ohio,
and to call upon our colleagues to do the same.

We welcome you to a diverse leadership
community of industry, academic and mixed
media performers sharing what we do know and
testing what we don't know. Defrag conferences
bring innovators together to learn, connect,
clarify insights and refresh perspectives! Our
appreciation is extended to Lorain County
Community College, the Division of Math &
Science and the LCCC Foundation for its
generous support and strong spirit of
collaboration in hosting the Defrag Ohio Lorain
conference.

“Ohio’s business development opportunities in
creative digital media. Beginning in 1997, the
economic developer's view of the role of arts in
an economy began to shift. The Blair government
in the U.K. published an important report on "the
creative industries". (Note that this development
took place 4 or 5 years before Richard Florida
published his book.)
The idea of treating creative industries as an
important source of high income jobs began to
take o". Now, you can see in the UK a wide range
of urban centers that are embracing the strategy
of developing creative industries. They have
developed their own web site for creative
industry development.
Additionally, within the UK, di"erent locations
are launching their own e"orts. So, you can now
visit Creative ! Edinburgh, for example.
Creative!London is the most advanced of these
local sites, and Creative London has recently
formed a joint project with ! Toronto. Other
countries including Austria, Finland, Denmark,
Australia and New ! Zealand see the creative
industries as a path to high value added
!
In June 2000, the New England Council picked up
the trend when they published the report,
The!Creative!Economy!Initiative:!The!Role!of!Arts!
and!Culture!in!New!England’s!Economic!Competit
iveness. With their partners, they have launched
the Creative ! Economy ! Initiative. More recently,
Providence, home of the Rhode Island School of
Design, has adopted creative industries as a core
of their economic development strategy.
and the
Charleston!Digital!Corridor represent other local
e"orts to capitalize on this emerging
opportunity. Earlier this month, Los Angles
released its report on the creative industries.
!
The fastest growing segment of the "creative
industries clusters" comes with "creative digital
media" or "rich digital media". It stands to
reason. Information is being digitized. The
explosion of low cost computing power (Moore's
law), coupled with the power of connectivity and
the Internet (Metcalfe's law) creates an entirely
new opportunity to create, produce and
distribute rich digital content.
 DEFRAG OHIO

Others are seeing the opportunity. Ball State
University has landed about $40 million in
funding from the Lilly Endowment to launch a
digital media initiative. Interactive gaming and
simulators are changing the way in which
complex learning is taking place. The U.S.
Defense Department is heavily involved in this
research.
! information.
A big opportunity in Ohio comes with creative
digital media. Through an extensive set of
meetings at REI, FUTURE and Defrag, we are
seeing the opportunities emerge in Ohio around
gaming, 3-D visualization, and education. We
have extensive assets, and we are uncovering
more through Defrag.
!!
Building interactive games -- and applying this
technology to education -- represents one of the
promising areas for Ohio. To give you some
orientation to this opportunity, read the report
from New Zealand that looks at their interactive
gaming cluster. Austin has jumped on this
opportunity with its Gaming!Expo.
Defrag is continuing to develop this cluster with a
set of "link and leverage" strategies. To give you
some sense of urgency and the opportunities,
here are two videos that Lev Gonick played at the
recent Cleveland!2.0 meeting. The first focuses
on the challenges ahead. The second explores
some of our digital opportunities. The Internet is
our first interactive mass medium. The
technology to launch this interactivity is
emerging as "Web 2.0". This technology has
profound implications for how economic
development will take place in the next decade. “

Collaborative Leadership, is based on
appreciative leadership skills to guide
conversation in new areas of innovation and
business development.
Social Networks, is a social structure made of
nodes which are generally individuals or
organizations that are tied by one or more
specific types of relations such as financial
exchange, friendship, hate, trade, web links or
airline routes.

Fri 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Topic/X-cutting theme: Education, Modeling &

Description: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE Notes on
Development and Process: IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE is
a multi-modal fusion of visual art, literature, and
immersive digital media, manifesting as a gallery
installation, on-line environment in Second Life, and
bound print portfolio. It is an evocation of African-
American personal/familial/communal narratives and
allegories, in words and distinctive interpretive visual
compositions. It is a hymn of nuanced harmonies and
discords; a blending of voices sweet and rough. It is a
trans-generational memoir, illuminating paths we
walk, stories we’ve been told, and the dream-places
we haunt. It is a continuation of my four decades of
art-making and research, and my creative
collaborations with poet/novelist Dorothy Mallory
Jones, my mother (LISSEN HERE!, book 2004, and The
Trouble I’ve Seen, broadcast video 1976). IN THE
SWEET BYE & BYE is a dialogue between traditional and
contemporary creative and cultural practice. It is
composed of poetic and narrative text, digital
paintings, photo-collage, animations, soundscapes,
and immersive virtual environments. Themes and
threads of the work are derived from personal and
family memoirs, and African-American/Diaspora oral
traditions. The 2D, 3D and animation compositions are
my original work, and archive of photo, film, video and
graphic imagery, dating to the late 19th century, and
spanning the planet. IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE will
speak to diverse audiences, through the breadth and
depth of its content, and the three modes of
presentation. Each presentation mode (installation,
web, book) of IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE transposes and
interprets the source material into distinctive form,
exploiting the particular capabilities and character of
the mode. Each is a stand-alone experience, yet
complimentary to the other modes. IN THE SWEET BYE
& BYE is a process of migration and transformation of
concepts and designs through technologies, and
temporal terrains. B&B SL: An Immersive Memior
Developing IN THE SWEET BYE & BYE in Second Life
(B&B SL) began mid Jan 07. It marks the paradigm shift
in vision. It begins the migration of source material
and core expressive intentions, and transformations of
concepts and ideas, as I investigate designing in/for
this dynamic immersive environment.

Title: The Emerging Economics of Open Source
Software
Fri 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Stocker Cinema Hall
Topic/X-cutting theme: Social Software Technologies,
Social Networks
Description: Open Source developers have, perhaps
without conscious intent, created a new and
surprisingly successful economic paradigm for the
production of software. Examining that paradigm can
answer a number of important questions. It's not
immediately obvious how Open Source works
economically. Probably the worst consequence of this
lack of understanding is that many people don't
sustainable, and some may even feel that its potential
negative e"ect upon the proprietary software industry
is an overall economic detriment. Fortunately, if you
look more deeply into the economic function of
software in general, it's easy to establish that Open
Source is both sustainable and of tremendous benefit
to the overall economy. Open Source can be explained
entirely within the context of conventional open-
market economics. Indeed, it turns out that it has
much stronger ties to the phenomenon of capitalism
than you may have appreciated. Join us for a dynamic
presentation.

camp. He works professionally as an animator and
print designer for his company and serves as an
instructor for Blender workshops and training DVDs.
An avid advocate of open source software, Jason uses
open source tools for the majority of his creative work
and is active in the Free Software community,
particularly the Blender community. He has given
demonstrations at Linux Users Group meetings and
SIGGRAPH conferences, and he currently serves as the
