Seeks	allies who speak "Open Source", to join in creating such a web portal. But, let's not stop there, not if we're passionate about OS principles & practices!

And, in addition to disseminating these empowering ways widely, let's apply them to our own ongoing interactions, to enjoy the fruits of our labors!
