Open Source is one of the best kept secrets. The Open Source movement is in full swing and more not-for-profit companies are starting their own projects.
The open source movement promotes the creation of source code in the form of software programs in many ar-eas of computer software. It is a way for the average person to contribute to projects funded by large corpora-tions down to the smaller non profit business. The general public is invited to add either source code, ideas, documentation or any other kind of contribution they can add. It is very easy to get involved in a project. Go to an Open Source site, look for the link to how you can help.
