You may be passionate about open source software or FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) or you may simply be focused on getting your work done. Either way, according to Cory Doctorow, novelist, activist, journalist, and blogger, when you use open source software the work you do today is giving shape to the open source software of the future.
That's quite a responsibility—and a privilege. Cory explains what he means, and more important, what this means for the world at large. We invite you to listen to his thought-provoking keynote from the O'Reilly Open Source Convention last year, /How you got here/. You'll learn about the practical side of using open source as well as enduring benefits that you may not have imagined. And Cory's a brilliant speaker.
Cheers!
