Excellent overview of the promise and power of open source and how it directly helps a variety of constituents: developers, companies, and society as a whole.

I shut off my computer and put it away to hear every word; Jim shared his insights about open-source, its historical and present significance, and why we need to care; cogently and and with authenticity.
