+We depend on it. FLOSS is \textbf{everywhere}:
+
+Your smartphone, your laptop, in the online services you are using, etc.
+
+% The philosophy of FLOSS represents a radical reimagining of how
+% software - and by extension, knowledge - should be created and shared
+% in society.
+%
+% Its impact varies dramatically across stakeholders, creating both
+% opportunities and challenges that continue to evolve as our digital
+% dependency deepens.

+ {FLOSS Funding Challenges}
-Current funding of FLOSS falls in four tiers
+The FLOSS model creates a fundamental tension:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item[$+$] generates enormous value for society and the economy
+ \item[$-$] \alert{struggles to capture sufficient value to sustain itself}
+\end{itemize}
+% Funding sources like NGI are emerging - recognition that the
+% traditional economic model fails to support the digital infrastructure
+% we all depend on.

+\begin{quote}
+No one wakes up excited to see more advertising,
+no one goes to sleep thinking about the ads they'll see tomorrow.

+
+Advertising isn't just the disruption of aesthetics,
+the insults to your intelligence and the interruption of your train of thought.
