n both the above cases you are talking about software as a service , the point 
most of the youngsters miss is , there is no tangible direct benefit from the 
Free software you write in most of the cases , There is one very big intangible 
benefit which most of us ignore is the skill development in the process .This 
is what makes this person special who is valued in top dollars by thousands of 
companies across the world . This is a big market place in its own and will 
need a different thread to talk about . so to not to confuse much the first 
stop if youngsters can cater to this market place with skills , once they are 
employed and once there basic needs and necessities are taken care of then they 
can think of taking the next step towards whatever next big or whatever IMHO.

skill than from an organizational context.
