Introductory episode for The Emergence Podcast series of videos exploring the potential of open source communication technologies funded by not for profit interests. This introductory video will be followed by a series of challenges looking throughout all aspects of society where open source technologies funded by not for profit interests could make a positive impact.  

From civic engagement to social interactions, entertainment, learning, productivity, mindfulness, collaboration, health, and philanthropy, what tools could  be built where the quality of the experiences are prioritized over the potential of profit?   What tools are already built? What methodologies speak to this? Where is the talent building these tools? What are the use cases for such technology to exist? Where are the funders to build these technologies where profit takes a backseat to favorably impacting people and the communities they engage with? 

Every challenge in this series will look to  answer these questions by aligning a potential use case with resources to help make it possible.
