We originally described this collaboratory of collaboratories as a WateringHole as a play on our name, "BlueOxen."

At MGTaylor's 2004 7-Domains Workshop in Nashville, MattTaylor described another aspect of a WateringHole that characterizes this space as well. A WateringHole exemplifies coopetition, in that both predator and prey gather there to drink with little fear of being eaten. Matt also pointed out that alligators in the water are the exception to the rule. Here, we try to keep the alligators away. | At MGTaylor's 2004 7-Domains Workshop in Nashville, MattTaylor described another aspect of a WateringHole that characterizes this space as well.
