Transparent business processes—what a concept. Today, Anil Dash reveals that he’s moving to San Francisco and was mostly responsible for the recent licensing dustup surrounding Six Apart’s roll-out of Movable Type 3.0.
To use the requisite automotive analogy, if Six Apart were a shiny new car, I feel like I was the person who put the first dent in it, and then a couple thousand people stood around pointing and saying “It’s totalled!”
Two things stand out about this incident. First, that Dash got the support he needed from his management and second, that the whole process was transparent, albeit after the fact. The only thing that could have made this better is if the transparency had come before, rather than after, the licensing announcement.
Good for Dash and good for Six Apart. They’re learning and there’s a lot in this for all of us to study.
