No, and when I agreed with Akshay, I did not consider my bicycle as an
"organisation".

Nor did he mention, or I agree with, the "feelings" that the organisations
have.  So I am not clear what we are disagreeing about.

I do get "warm, welcoming" feelings from projects (gpsd, ntpsec) I am in;
and I know of someone who got a very different feeling from the same
projects.

The gpsd project, as an example, is full of opinionated people, yet when I
tentatively offered a patch, they welcomed me and taught me git.  The
project itself has strong opinions on what hardware it will support, and in
that sense it is quite partisan.
