Open Source Drop-In Centre

Isn’t it funny when you discover that someone has a great idea — that you’d already thought of some time ago …

[Dave Winer]

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.

We talked about something similar in Melbourne a couple of years back … with the concept that it could also provide a showcase of open source products/services for newbies. Is this worth persuing?
