I enjoy the open-source community because it fosters innovation, challenges the status quo, and empowers technologists to control their own destiny.

[woohoo]

To me, open source software represents many things.  Freedom and individual liberty, legality, creativity (influence on music/art with things like GPL/creative commons/copyleft works), sustainability, practicality, right to repair, right to privacy, DIY/raspberryPi, just to name a few.  The beauty is that we all get to help co-define it in a way.  I really do believe it changes the world and I am proud to be a tiny part of it.  Thank you.

I ❤️ Open Source because it is based upon sharing and cooperation.

The community creates and owns the standards, anyone is free to contribute.

Open source benefits the community but it also benefits each of us and our companies.

• You will produce better products. ...
• You will get exposure before an engaged audience. ...
• You will attract passionate and talented developers. ...
• Openness will become an integral part of your company culture.

I love Open Source because, well, it's open, collaborative, always-on, transparent, and the best way I know to share and learn!

I like Open Source because it creates communities, allows them to grow and serves as a catalyst of innovation through a mutual objective.

Coming from a background in physics, I have a love of detail and mathemical modelling... I love open source because it allows people to share their creativity, be it musings or mature product, in an exacting, usable, and inspiring way.  Open Source lowers the barriers to entry into someone else's creations.

As a result, we have been able to develop what I like to think of as "cathedrals of our age", creations that many artisans have devoted lifetimes of work to produce, such as the linux kernel.

Open Source is collaboration. It's amazing to see projects that are running literally the whole world being developed in the open, being able to always jump in and leave a mark.

It's empowering. You know that you really own what you use.

Now, take it and make something with it. Make it better. Create something propietary, doesn't matter. But use Open Source, the community will always be there for you <3

Open source enables the best minds to collaborate and work together to achieve a certain goal and doesn't stop there itself.  That is what I love about Open Source. Not only are their new ideas, innovation, but there are communities that build up and grow together which just takes it to another level.
