I invite the guy who said this at the Greater London User the 22nd of April to confirm that himself here. What he said was: "In the Free Software movement there are lot of nutcases". We were discussing Free Software Evangelism.
Oh, you are talking about Shanes talk at GLLUG? I wish you had been more specific about your reference before. I think you are mistaken. To paraphrase Shanes talk: "When we talk to the public about Free Software we should be careful to put our points across carefully. Shoving a leaflet and a GNU/Linux CD into an unsuspecting users hand and ranting about Free Software in an aggressive way makes them think you are a nutcase" Those aren't his exact words but thats the intent of his message. His talk was about perception and alternative ways to engage the unaware public. To say he referred to members of the FSF as nutcases is wholly inaccurate. Hope to help. -- ~sm Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://beerandspeech.org _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
