No offense to those which I may offending. I realized that nowadays, a lot of newcomers in the FOSS community are those people who are not really willing to make any effort contribute anything.
They do not contribute codes, when they did some enhancement on the FOSS softwares. They just keep it to themself. They do not even consider to assist in any event for promoting FOSS to the public, although they do have plenty of free time during those event. Some of them, join these FOSS groups mailing list or become member on these FOSS groups website just to make themself feel that they are 1337 by joining these groups. They feel that they are more 1337 than everyone when they join into some groups where a lot of people using Linux/Unix. Some of them are worse. Aside from those I mentioned above, they are treating the community as a place for flirt female geeks. They feel that able to have a chance to flirt female geeks make themself geekier. These kind of thinking is not healthy in the community. Before we can do something to demand changed from the .gov, we need to start educate these newcomers to behave as well as make sure they are in the community for the same reason with us, which is fight for freedom/libre of codes, spreading the knowledge of opensource to more people. I believe a lot of you guys do realize these issues recently. Sometimes, we really need to be strict to these newcomers who joined the community for the wrong reason and educate them the real spirit of FOSS. Well, if there is anyone wanted to argue about the female geeks flirting part, please feel free to ask for some chat logs from me as evidence. I have a lot of these logs with me.
