"reality"? -- its tempting to delve into the abstract but if you are reading this, then ... 0. what are your expectations from "fosscomm" and do you want CMP or are you happy with the current status quo? 1. where do you see this coalition going in terms of goals, activities, etc? 2. What direction and role do you see yourself playing, if any. A larger part of this was covered at the first bangalore meet (do check the archives please) but maybe those members not present at that meet would like to voice themselves here on the list. So please reflect your individual opinions, > not brushing under the carpet by a few, high-minded, individuals.

His idea is an instance of someone walking the talk and for that reason alone would love to have more threads like them as opposed to some threads where there is an unspoken "its my way or the highway" attitude (very subtle fwiw) which could just as easily be (mis)interpreted as enlightened self interest[0].
