I have had this idea for a Virtual Darpa Grand Challenge for a couple of years now and I’m shopping around this slide deck to angel / VC people. I don’t know many, but I am looking and learning.
But I thought I’d also put this out there to the Linux community and see what they think of it. I’ve never done anything like this before so I’m not even sure if I should take on this idea, but I’d be interested in hearing what people think of it and any advice on how to make it happen.
(The first few slides are background because I can’t assume someone knows about the benefits of free software.)
Thanks!

Why not create a website called Softwareleaks.com where people from these Proprietary backgrounds can “leak” this software onto an Anonymous website where it can then be merged into free software by programmers. This would take the starting from scatch part out of the equation.
