They found that it served them well. In fact, they wondered if others might find value in it, too. So, they decided to open it up to anyone and everyone working toward making the {{tag|Earth|world}} a better place. | ||
The result is that one of the most interesting "gifts" that Omidyar Network has made so far is o-net itself. It's a "{{tag|network}} {{tag|commons}}" — a giant town square donated to the public, for public good.

We hope you stick around and see what we can evolve here together. | The result is that one of the most interesting "gifts" that Omidyar Network has made so far is o-net itself.
