1. Not by bread (money) alone: work in areas that have high social need
2. Some of the best brains are here. The strong sense of community makes it very easy to share software, ideas and solutions.
3. Anyone can get involved: Entry barriers to contribute to free software are low.
4. Educational Concerns: People contribute their skills and work in order to:
   • share knowledge
   • have fun or take on a challenge
   • develop new skills
   • gain experience and reputation
   • improve job opportunities
5. Affordability
6. Support from a worldwide community
7. Internationalization
8. Adapt, rebuild, reuse: Anyone interested can adapt existing software for specific needs.
9. The interest is here
10. If this won't work, nothing will: the FLOSS movement has shown its ability to produce results.
