Hello,,

I am the operator of the WhyLib, and I'm trying to figure out why open source hasn't gone mainstream.

I want to see more people publishing independently and safeguarding their own memories in media, and less people giving their entire lives over to a corporate entity.

I dedicate this forum to bringing open source to the common folk of the world.

Respectfully,
The Operator
