An open source approach to place?
![Page 27: If place is a system, let's make it an open source one](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042813/5484e79cb4af9f9b0d8b4ccc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
(If we view place as a system, albeit rather a complicated one)
![Page 28: If place is a system, let's make it an open source one](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042813/5484e79cb4af9f9b0d8b4ccc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1. Users spot bugs and report2. Progress is open and viewable
3. Anyone can suggest, and (if agreed) implement solutions.

1. Helps with cross-service issues
2. Visibility of process
3. Potential for left-field solutions
