A note I found in my journal, from seven years ago, on the day I was summoned to participate in a jury of my peers:

I have to go to jury duty as a member of this democracy. what if I had a summons to contribute to open source software because I use FOOS?

I didn't read that between the lines.

I just read that people should spend time with open source. For me, that includes wikipedia, osm, bug reporting, etc.

Imo, it would be nice if there was at least some introduction to this world to anyone (in school). There's no harm in getting to know this world.
