Community

Internet community

We believe Internet users are choosing to participate more, and more, in online communities. This is having a profound impact on social, cultural and economic circumstances. The complexity and energy of these communities is obvious. We’re optimistic about the massive shifts and changes taking place in the electronic world. We actively support a number of open source communities. In addition to the brick-and-mortar design services we offer, are opportunities for innovative companies and individuals to team with us to advance initiatives like these.
