Hope in Source

off-the-cuff conversations between friends

This is like open source. If everything was for how beautiful things could be.

Presentation and message that intertwined. Lovely podcast here.

Really been enjoying the Hope in Source podcast from @nayafia and @left_pad.

Just listened to the first episode and one of the things that came to mind is the connection between motivation for giving and anticipated benefits/rewards, as with the prosperity gospel movement. I wonder what the parallels between that and Open source might be

Really encouraged by @left_pad and @nayafia's podcast series "Hope In Source". Not only from the insightful discussions and parallels drawn, but also by their commitment to learn and explore some of the greater questions in life with a childlike heart of awe and wonder.
