| and all have been consequences of the world becoming 'massively connected'. But each |
| phenomenon has stood alone as its respective community has striven to achieve its goal |
| of freedom through community. This session considers the origins of the 'massively connected' |
| phenomenon, compares the approaches to promoting software freedom described above and |
| proposes a new model exemplified by OpenOffice.org" |
