Quote of the day

My students taught me that everything was personal - history, politics, foreign relations - but this approach creates boundaries as well as connections

Is the value of a community online, greater than the value of money?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently writing my dissertation in the UK about collective intelligence and the open source movement. I'm very interested in the motivation people have to help out in a open source community.

So my question is, why do you find it attractive about working unpaid for an open source community?

Has mutual respect taken over from the old model of demanding money for things?

It would be great to hear from you all, keep me posted!
