Hi Guys,
I thought some of you might like to see this TED talk:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnQcCgS7aPQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
From my perspective this summarises exactly what this community is all about and how I have been able to get up to speed with some pretty difficult to grapple concepts in just a few short weeks.
Wanted to share this video and add a big personal thank you to Russ and everyone here that lends their time and knowledge - lend is not strong enough - GIVES their time and knowledge so freely.
So THANK YOU guys, it is hard, laborious, time intensive work on your parts. It is appreciated and it does make a difference. So keep your desire and you curiosity firing on all cylinders!
It has also led to me thinking about what the next step in the evolution of open source is, we have people, we have ideas, we as yet to do not have true strength of numbers. I think for it to truly become a grass roots movement we need to bring more of the knowledge and content available out there into one repository, where one community collaborate and share. Somewhere on each of the bulletin boards out there on the myriad sites in this space is an answer that someone else can use to move them forward. If the voice is to be loud enough to be heard, it can't be divided across the web.
I wonder if those that are pillars of this community and really genuinely want the knowledge shared would support a move to one "deep" library of information? Not a single point of attack as it can be synced and propagated around the world, but a single point of collation.
Anyway I digress from the purpose of this post which is just to share a little bit of my sincere gratitude.
Cheers guys,
Sy
