The embrace of Open Source Economic Development is happening in Lorain and Akron (look at the Innovation Alliance forming) and in Youngstown (anchored by the YBI).

In the fall, Purdue and the University of Oklahoma will be starting a graduate certificate course in Open Source Economic Development.
