Another important lesson especially for techies is that being right isn't enough. You also have to persuade people and sell your idea, and in some ways that is the hardest part. I have often thought rms should step down and let Eben Moglen do the talking.
- homosaur 14y agoThis really would be ideal, but I'm not sure Moglen has the time to both run the legal effort and run the org and FSF legal really does an awesome job. I think maybe what the FSF needs more than anything is a NEW champion, someone younger perhaps without the baggage of RMS that would be able to relate to a new generation of devs without compromising the FSF agenda. I don't have any suggestions to this point. It might take a new organization to make this happen. I hate to suggest "forking" the FSF because that's probably the worst outcome short of a total dissolution, but they desperately need new voices.
