The Digital Commons Manifesto

We, the people of our communities, collectively provide for the greater good in a number of areas. We provide universal fire protect, universal police protection and universal K-12 education. The Digital Commons is a strategy - and associated policies - that provides universal access to the technologies that determine ones economic fate in the 21st century.

The core strategy of the Digital Commons is the adoption of Open Source software as a technology equal rights solution. A technology whose economics enable universal access - a school and at home - to all citizens of all ages.
