Pink Army Cooperative Uses Open Source Principles to Treat Breast Cancer
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the greatest things about the open
| source philosophy is that its principles can
| be applied to projects that help mankind.
| Content management systems, media apps, and
| gaming software all have their place in the
| FOSS ecosystem, but when projects like the
| Pink Army Cooperative come along, it reminds
| people of just how powerful the open source
| doctrine really is.
|
| Founded in March of this year, Canadian-
| based Pink Army Cooperative is using open
| source synthetic biology to create better
| drugs to fight breast cancer. The
| organization is comprised of members who pay
| $21 CDN to join the cooperative and, in
| turn, receive a small economic stake in the
| co-op.
