Re: RMS, without passing judgement: - I think people can have great ideas but not be great long term leaders.
FSF has high ideals, and fundamentally needs buy in from people on a lot of levels for them to succeed. It needs community. They could be really thankful to RMS’s getting things going but I don’t really understand why, now, they would add him back to the board. Is he saying new things that aren’t linear from the creation of FSF where his continued high level involvement is more helpful to the end goals than the community upset I would hope the board was aware of as a possibility?
- remirk 6y agoStallman is only one person on the board. It's quite a proven strategy to have people with vastly different skillsets on the board of an organisation. In FSF's case, Stallman might be a good fit to contribute his software freedom ideas. As long as there are other people who can focus on PR.
