This map is a variation on the Innovation Framework Map and shows a conceptual visualization of how we can think about organizing I-Open interview and conversation research. The Innovation Framework functions as a filter and meaningful context for stories of insight and innovation in Open Source Economic Development.
(From the presentation, "The Role of COINs in the Civic Space: building a pathway to prosperity" by Betsey Merkel, Co-Founder & Director, The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) at the COINS2009 conference.)

I think it's very cool and useful for the map multifunctions. Awesome. Even we can explore more in the outer space.
Which I took because I didn't have a proper data plan, and couldn't get Google Maps like a normal 21st century smartphone person.
Isochronic map, giving contours of equal travel time via driving from the city center. Compiled using OpenStreetMaps data, US Census shapefiles, an OSRM server, and QGIS to generate the final map.
Red lines denote an hour of driving, Gray lines denote 15 minutes. Cities displayed are primarily cities that lie at major interstate intersections or had the potential for interesting routing due to their location.
In Northeast Ohio and across the US, the I-Open team and many others leading in education, economic and workforce development, have been building online collaborative communities in economic development.
I-Open works in collaboration with Near-Time -- our technology partner located in Research Triangle Park, NC -- to strengthen the economic development efforts of entrepreneurs in the "Civic Space" - everything outside the four walls of any organization. Online collaborative communities sustain the important conversations between face to face meetings and amplify every individual's effort as a part of a larger effort to build enterprise and strengthen economic development.
I-Open also works in collaboration with Livestream, the Internet Television provider, located in New York City, NY. Internet television captures live broadcasts and chat of open conversations, gatherings, and interviews: the practical research for every business, government, academic and government leader today.
By integrating Web 2.0 tools with the Near-Time platform (such as Internet television, video, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) face to face/online community members can learn anywhere, anytime, and are able to connect and re-deploy information with increasing levels of transparency and speed to spot opportunities faster.
Each web space is inspired by individuals or organizations working in collaboration to identify and connect people, ideas and initiatives for enterprise development in communities and regions. Online communities may be regionally or nationally based and every community is at some level of maturation and change.
The I-Open Civic Forum process (center) creates the neutral spaces for leaders to learn about Open Source Economic Development and may subsequently spin out face to face/online communities of interest, practice and commitment. All of the communities included in the map below are open to the public.
This map below shows I-Open collaborative communities in some state of maturation. Each was supported by customized applications of the Near-Time platform.
