i have noticed quite a few people babbling about social service in this thread. Two things that give the community a bad name are that we are pirates by nature and that we are doing social service. Building community has nothing to do with social service (which, btw, is one of the most lucrative professions going - all you need is no qualifications and a big mouth to make big money) A simple illustration - if your hobby is rat catching, it is no fun unless you can meet fellow rat catchers to brag about the ones you caught and lament about the big one that got away. You meet, you exchange tips and tricks, you build clubs, you expand to other cities and finally have a worldwide community of rat catchers. Where is the social service involved? Foss is not religion, it is not social service, it is fun, it is sound business sense - and the pseudo religious/charitable colour some people give it is the biggest enemy of foss. -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
