What does Open Source mean for dgi?

Many times when first talking to someone who is interested in Islandora I get the question “But what’s the difference between the Islandora Project and dgi?” I completely understand where this question comes from.

I think that we tend to talk about Islandora as if it’s ours because it becomes everyone’s project as soon as they’ve starting working with it and contributing to it. Everyone can take a little bit of ownership to an open source project.
