Presentation for Software Freedom Day in Melbourne. In just a handful of years, volunteers around the world have create the largest encyclopedia ever known, Wikipedia. It's still growing today, in literally hundreds of languages, and sister projects to provide other free reference works (such as textbooks) are also thriving.
