== Comparison ==
In light of the points made by both Shane and James, there are very similar patterns that may be observed through the details of both presentations and both stories presented.
Both presentations focused on the aspect of how the core components of their represented software products, would be failures if global contributions ceased to arise.
The success of Drupal and Komodo Edit are due in part to the fact that many volunteers contribute in many different ways.
The observable pattern is that community and volunteer contributions are essential towards the success of an Open Source project.
Both Shane and James personal views on Open Source and FSOSS in general are similar in that they both agreed that Open Source is about respecting user’s freedom. People work on Open Source software because, they believe in the moral/social reasons or the practical advantages to an open development model.
