Perhaps Rik's push for the CLUG to be something else (I'm really not sure what, exactly) is caused by his conflict of interest (he makes money supporting Linux).
I disagree that Rik's trying to make money from Linux is in any way a conflict of interest.
Well, that depends what Rik is trying to do with the CLUG. Frankly, I don't really understand his posts. Nevertheless, he is open to the accusation of trying to reshape the CLUG for his own business interests.
(I'm not saying this is his intention. I don't know what his intentions are. Merely that he is open to this accusation)
We need to encourage people to make a living from Linux.
Sure. In an ethical way. Extending GPL software and selling it as your own might make you a living, for example.
Rik's posts simply are not clear enough for me to understand. Perhaps others fare better.
Cheers, Carl.
