That said, my point is that the technology used for deliver OSGeo's message is not a mere detail. Of course, the best choice would be to use an open source software for that, honestly I'm not aware if there are any (reliable). But, whatever platform you choose, should IMHO at very least not discriminate against Linux users, which are often constrained to use tricks to access other services elsewhere.. because it's simply exhausting [1], and we shouldn't expect to be discriminated against by those who are supposed to deliver the very same message that we do.
