Freedoms, not just free stuff
"I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place."

Working Open
-
participation. rocket fuel for smart collaboration.
- agility. speed. flexibility. getting shit done.
- momentum. communities want to push boulders that are already rolling.
- testing and rapid prototyping. iterating and refining as we go.
- leverage. getting greater bang from limited resources. punching above our weight.

Who Writes Wikipedia?
"When you put it all together, the story become clear: an outsider makes one edit to add a chunk of information, then insiders make several edits tweaking and reformatting it. In addition, insiders rack up thousands of edits doing things like changing the name of a category across the entire site — the kind of thing only insiders deeply care about. As a result, insiders account for the vast majority of the edits. But it’s the outsiders who provide nearly all of the content."

Final Thoughts
"In software, "open" refers to free or open-source software, standards, data, platforms, access and scope. These push control to the edge, where innovation thrives. Open platforms let users choose which software to install. The open-data movement seeks to boost governments' economic efficiency, knowledge and public trust by liberating people's data. Like decentralisation, openness empowers people, contributing to the innovation that produces economic and social gains."
