Hi All,
Open-source software (OSS), created largely by volunteers, has changed the world. One of my major interests in studying OSS was whether or not the Internet-based collaborations that produce OSS could teach us something about creating positive social and political change. I'm currently working writing open-source software for folks working on environmental modeling at UMass, Amherst. You can find out more about me at (http://www.edaystar.com).
Thanks,
Bob
