Steal This Brand talks about the Open Source Planet.

While the industry has very low direct environmental impact, its indirect impact is immense. As CSR practitioners, we all have an interest in helping to hold SAP, IBM, Oracle and the rest to account. These companies constitute our Global Resource Management infrastructure. Their systems can unlock transparency and sustainability through open source systems and networked accountability, or they can bury us in waste, secrecy and bureaucracy.

The call to action? Go over and contribute to James Farrar’s open thread - “What should technology companies do to fulfil their social responsibility?”

I wrote about Governance, Risk and Compliance as the new ERP here.

disclosure: James may become a client at some point.
