   everytime i see people like @kev do stupid things, i feel more motivated to speak up.
   
   if we don't want the Old Guard speaking for the FOSS movement, then we must speak up ourselves and become the voice people hear.
   
   you don't like how RMS, ESR and the corporate guys represent our culture? get out there and tell people how things really are. make it clear that their ways aren't our ways. stop letting them hog the soapbox.

      the important thing for FOSS is the future. who and what are coming next. we have to be our own voice for our own values if we want to be proper stewards of the movement and have it reflect our values. that's the reality of it.
      
      instead of complaining about boomer shit from FOSS folks, get out there and make your communities free of that shit the ones that sparkle and shine.
      
      the FSF and OSI and all of these institutions have their place in history, but the future is *ours* and it's what *we* make it to be.

         this was the point lilo was trying to make when he started PDPC by the way. while PDPC warped into a support organization *for him*, this was *largely* because he was doing what he had to do in order to advance his mission.
         
         the ethos of freenode and everything else he was doing got lost to the political bullshit, but he wanted to train up the next generation of developers in how to build distributed peer-directed projects. why?
         
         because he recognized that the movement is fluid, and that it needs to move with the people who are actually doing the work. people aren't meant to be installed as a permanent deity.
