We need to redefine community and find a variety of ways of coming together and helping each other.

We actually have a real community of people doing useful things.

We hunger for connection to a larger community.

Community means people spending time together here, and I don't think there's really that.

When one neighbor helps another, we strengthen our communities.

We have to deal with where we are. We have to create cooperatives, we have to create intentional communities, we have to work for local cooperation where we are.

We all have a way to contribute, to your community, to your family, whatever it is you can do.

I support organizations that help people do better for themselves and the community.

By allowing multiple partners to contribute, an open platform can nurture an entire ecosystem of developers and apps. Good products integrate and become great products. Users get a one-stop solution for social needs.

Linux is a complex example of the wisdom of crowds. It's a good example in the sense that it shows you can set people to work in a decentralized way - that is, without anyone really directing their efforts in a particular direction - and still trust that they're going to come up with good answers.
