TAKEOFF IN PROGRESS

WELCOME TO THE OTHER END OF THE UNIVERSE.

THIS WORLD IS RUN BY GIANT CORPORATIONS WHO USE CYBORGS FOR FREE LABOUR. WE, THE CYBORGS, ALL RUN OPERATING SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE THAT ARE PROPRIETARY AND ALL THE SOURCE CODE IS HIDDEN AWAY IN PRIVATE REPOSITORIES THAT WE OURSELVES CANNOT ACCESS. WE, A GROUP OF CYBORG REBELS HAVE LEARNED HOW TO CODE. WE DEVELOPED OUR OWN OPEN SOURCE VERSION OF SOFTWARE THAT WE CAN USE TO REPROGRAMME OURSELVES AND BREAK FREE FROM THE SHACKLES OF OUR CORPORATE OVERLORDS. BUT TO DO THAT WE NEED TO DEVELOP AND TEST OUR SOFTWARE IN THE OPEN SO WE A) UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES AND B) CAN IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES OURSELVES.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

CAN YOU EVALUATE THE OPENNESS OF OUR SOFTWARE, RUN THE EXPERIMENT, AND PUBLISH IT OPENLY?

WE WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

AND YOU CAN THEN GO BACK TO YOUR ESPRESSO.
