About Financing Freedom

Financing Freedom (Funding Free Culture) is an experiment in the application of the theories of lean manufacturing, the application of those theories on constructing software (agile methodology of programming), building startups ("Lean Startup"), books ("Every Book Is a Startup"),  and even  communities.

I will use a transmedia approach to telling the story of software freedom and open source. Otherwise known as FLOSS. I include free culture, because it extends beyond the boundaries of FLOSS, but is motivated by some of the same ideals.
