Open-Source
Open Source is a set of principles and practices on how to write and manage software. Literally "open source" means the source code is available to the users. This doesn't mean that it's always free, but it's available to view and use for any user or buyer of the software.
Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development refers to any actions taken to help us reach this state of sustainability. To paraphrase the World Conservation Union, sustainable development is essentially about:
- Balancing economic growth and social needs with the natural environment.
- Ensuring that growth in the present does not adversely sacrifice future opportunities.
- Applying this approach successfully within a local area and at a global level.
