“if the FSF doesn’t do something drastic to modernise itself, it’s going to be nothing more than a group of neck-beards discussing how evil proprietary software is.”
Wow way to completely shit on the legacy of Free Software. It’s not about who the message is coming from but the message itself.
Is it wrong though? Because that’s about what people in the general public knows about them right now. They definitely need a better pr and I dare say, a better more welcoming persona.
And what’s the message when the spokesperson of an organisation is not helping the organisation anymore because he alienates people participating, deterring newcomers and keeping others from participating is reinstated in the org’s board?
Free Software is there and can live on without the FSF. That has been the whole point of this exercise.
And if they welcome back RMS I don’t think things will change for the better. Good riddance to a stale and aged organisation then.
And no, I don’t think a better logo, fancy videos or a social media person will remedy this. That’s just covering up the rust with paint.
