I didn't say no public presence.
What I did suggest what's a standard effort well-trodden ground to go out and do the public advocacy and Outreach.
And in terms of the ideas the leadership and all of that, I put that in my first comment. I sincerely hope people can keep the focus on the ideas.
Regarding the rest of your comments, they're valid, and solidarity on ideas is hard.
Software Freedom really matters to me. I'm willing to act with others to advance those ideas. I don't have to like some of the people all that much. Neither does anybody else.
And if we map this stuff onto well known politics, political organizing activities, what we've got here is a fight on our hands.
There's an awful lot of money very interested in letting some of these ideas prevail and the really important ones fall by the wayside or be co-opted.
Looking around at our side, the software freedom side, it looks kind of grim. We've got work to do.
And frankly, if enough of us don't prioritize this, do not value it highly, that work won't get done, these ideas die.
All of that is why I could give two shits who is likable or not. What I want to know is who's behind the ideas, who believes in them, who's willing to do work, and what that means, and how I can help.
And on that note, speaking of leadership, those are the things that need solid answers. Or, again, these ideas die.
