My personal opinion is that advocating Linux is good, and advocating open-source, by proxy is good. Advocating a political leader however is verging on too much politics for my liking, and people disagree too much on politics and thus, it becomes fuel for offtopic flamewars, and that stuff sucks, a sure fire way to destroy a community. Its helpful to know that there are political candidates who may or may not be furthering various benefits in terms of opensource advocacy, but largely, political candidates tend to have more agendas than just software policy. It would be of interest of me to see a list of political groups who care about opensource, but I still agree that this list is not the right place for that, again, it seems to be something more inclined to spur violence and separation than be productive. So, from a purely pragmatic and practical standpoint, localbody/national politics does not count as being "technical" enough for this list. ( Although I can see the rationale that leads you to posting it here, its more a problem with not thinking enough about the possible run-on consequences and being possibly blinded by "fanboyism" like things. You love a thing, thats great, its just hard to realise others may not instantaneously share your views no matter how you argue it. For examples, see editor-wars, religious-wars, and os-wars. We still have the divisions, and all the wars do is make us all look bad ).
