  2. Why Is Open Source Important • As community members, we find ourselves answering the same questions and solving the same problems over and over. • Open Source allows us to organize and share our collective knowledge. • Collectively, we are smarter than we are as individuals. • Sharing code encourages others to share. • It is highly likely that problems you’re facing have already been solved! • Decrease API ramp-up time for new customers and partners. This is one of the keys to success for Solid Edge. • Increase developer productivity with ready built examples, libraries& templates. • Best practices by example.
