Open Source Movement - Open the Sauce

The open source movement is a broad-reaching movement comprised both officially and unofficially of individuals that feel that software should be produced altruistically.

Flying in the face of the big money-making software companies, lies the Open Source Movement. Wikipedia itself is a good example of Open Source - providing the Global Community the scaffolding to build upon an original idea.

Another fantastic example of the Open Source Movement is the BBC's recent documentary series, The Virtual Revolution.

"A free culture is one where all members are free to participate in its transmission and evolution, without artificial limits on who can participate or in what way."

You are the people who make the web.
