Why does the Linux community need to organize? Haven't the computer industry and computer business interests yet learned that Linux users and the Linux 'movement' don't necessarily work like 'conventional,' or 'traditional' business models or even share the same interests? I'm getting tired of reading pontifications by editors and journalists who don't seem to understand what Linux really means: freedom from software tyranny! a rebirth of the magic of computing and sharing of ideas! viable software alternatives in the face of bloatware, expensive upgrade treadmills, and usurious (sp?) licensing. Besides, what will happen if we don't organize? Will Linux go away? Do we all want to see Linux take over the software industry? Do we really care about Microsoft?
