The Cathedral and the Bazaar

In The Cathedral and the Bazaar Raymond said that the Linux community was organized in such a way that "a coherent and stable system could seemingly emerge only by a succession of miracles." It is my belief that this succession of miracles, which caused Open Source to emerge, came from God. One of the most obvious reasons I feel that the Lord has assisted the Open Source movement is to help The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with family history. Open Source led to the creation of the Family Search API, which allows anyone to build custom applications that can access and submit genealogical data. I believe the Lord will continue to inspire men to create and use technology until His work to "bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" is complete.
