CROWD-SOURCED: Low-cost, flexibility, freedom, security, and accountability – that are unsurpassed by proprietary solutions.
SUPPORTED BY A COMMUNITY: Constantly reviewing code, thousands of independent developers,
vast peer review process that ensures security and accountability.
STRONG VALUES: More often than not, OSS developers hold similar values. In all aspects of life,
they are advocates for more community participation, collaboration, and volunteerism.
They believe in working together to build free, high quality products that are accessible to
for-profit and nonprofit organizations alike.
PARADIGM SHIFT: Technologies and architectures sometimes grow stagnant, and open source projects
with fresh thinking can drive change. Because technologies are released as open source, the entire
ecosystem is able to move forward together, rather than just ‘near by’ domain and its users.
