My role at Apple, as an independent contractor or a open source community consultant, is a little bit like my current role as minister at large with open innovation as the mandate. That is to say I was at a Lagrange point with the community at one side and a huge corporation at the other, just like as my position now is between a civil society organization on one side and a huge state apparatus on the other. I always stress that I’m not working for either, I’m working with both.
