You know what would be really cool. An office in Silicon Valley that was open 24 by 7, with pizza and coffee, for open source projects. A patent-free zone. A place to work on open formats and protocols. The missing social pulse of the tech industry. I wonder if it would work, or if it would just attract homeless people. Thinking out loud.
Well, we could operate a soup kitchen on one side and a pizza/coffee house on the other.
Hey. I'll volunteer barrista duty when I'm in town. I can't code, but I can make a helluva cappuccino.

I could see something like this for open source and/or just people starting tech companies.
