Here's to the volunteers

No 8 Ball needed: It's the Volunteers and communities that keep the concept of Open source strong. The 8 Ball from yesterday, is the proprietary marketing tool of chance. With all that could go wrong left open for Theft,law suites,incompatibility with other file formats and systems. A 7 year sentence was handed down to this guy for pirating software. That doesn't happen with Open source. It's free and open.

Open Source events are "open", People (Volunteers) come to explore and share ideas. The excitement comes from knowing where the future is headed. It not secret, there is little risk, No 8 Ball needed.
