I'll third that notion from above, definitely highly valuing the amazing work put into Qubes by everyone working on it, especially the core staff. I also appreciate good communication to the mass-users, therefore this post to me is also highly valued and appreciated. Although I feel a little double regarding the apology, because I'm both inclined to say it's not needed at all, but also at the same time happy about receiving it. Since being open, honest and transparent, with good communication, goes a long way, and it makes Qubes more likable. Qubes is definitely high up on my list of projects that are shaping a better tomorrow for all of humanity. Open, transparent, secure and decentralized technology is incredible important in order to maintain democracy and avoid new dictators grasping for power through highly decentralized nontransparent and closed insecure software. Some people apparently believe we will never see another Hitler or Stalin, and that democracy is something that cannot crack or falter in modern times. However power enabled by centralized and abusive technology certainly challenges that naive belief by returning more and more power back to the individual leaders as centralized innovation goes on year by year. For that, I believe Qubes is really important piece of puzzle to a better tomorrow, on the grand scheme of things into the future. I'm looking forward to see how Qubes will help shape our world tomorrow! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
