+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.

+No one wakes up excited to see more advertising,

+Advertising isn't just the disruption of aesthetics,
