Sometimes in FOSS discussions it sounds like the only people who ever have a calling, who can't stop doing a thing because they have to do it, are deep tech nerds. But that's not true. The other people with a calling aren't much in software though.

There are so many community organizers and volunteers out there helping people with real-world problems. Some of what they do benefits from software support, and they often rely on proprietary software to do it. They get locked in and the coporations extract rent from money people donate to social causes.

Imagine getting our surplus of people who just want to build something, anything, just want to be useful, and applying them to those problems.
