What I would like to know from some of you guys is, which of your values are best served by OSS?
I was reluctant to reply because I'm so burnt out on politics but after mulling it for a few days I think that, simply, there are two areas that the question might apply to: software and community.
1. I like the software because there is no single point of failure for the entire system in which the software is developed, deployed and used. There's redundancy built in everwhere in the ecosystem.
2. I like the community because it's the only working cooperative movement that I know of.
