summary
Argues that open source scales human cooperation more than code itself, citing 20,000 contributors on PyPI, PyOhio growing from ~100 attendees, and female participation rising from ~1% to over a third; points to concrete tools and wins — the SQL extension to IPython, Jupyter notebook, GitHub workflows, Data.gov, 18F’s FEC API and the USDS playbook — and notes governments adopting default-to-open and e-regulations work, showing the approach is practical not just idealistic.
