The Participation Culture
,----[ Quote ]
| Free software as participation culture
|
| I see a parallel between the self-organizing efficiencies of a city,
| and the execution of a project such as OpenMoko or GNU/Linux, or
| Free software in general. In the case of GNU/Linux, certain projects
| are huge, and more-or-less centrally organized, such as the Linux
| kernel. Other projects are smaller, and managed by the one or two
| participants, such as most of the myriad packages that make up a
| single GNU/Linux distribution. There is no single administrator,
| no one to say, "I am the decider."
