I understand your point - I hesitated while writing this sentence. I just felt like I should underline that it's not the "black hat" hackers we're looking for and that we're not criminals in case this post gets taken out of context. We obviously welcome DYI folks / security-minded people. It's just that FLOSS is our biggest common denominator, which is why I wrote this phrase.
- brudgers 6y agoI understand. Maybe “no, no, no, the good kind of hackers” is part of the marketing problem. ‘Maker’ is the current zeitgeist. It also provides more to work towards and that’s helpful for sustaining an organization. Of course some of your current group is likely to rage quit for such a pivot. It’s a question of goals whether it’s the right thing. But using “hacker” means you will always be boiling the ocean in your marketing.
