Exactly, the achievements of FOSS shows online collaboration is not only possible but can work better than physically centralized counterparts.
- et-al 9y agoIs there some sampling bias with FOSS? Most people working on a FOSS project are passionate about it. People working traditional, physically centralised jobs do it because they need money.
- closeparen 9y agoMost people working on a FOSS project work in a corporate office with others who rely on the project and have an interest in its future direction and quality.
- rout39574 9y agoI'm a long-time FOSS advocate; but I don't see this. I read the Open Source example to suggest that interested participants can overcome the disadvantages of remote collaboration. Oh, and getting (and giving) tiny slices of time from The Right Person overwhelms the utility of lots of time from Random People.
