How well I remember the first time I read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" :-) The ideas were right! I went through a similar experience promoting Linux that I am now promoting voluntaryism: a lot of people don't get it and they laugh at it because it is so different to what they are used to. Its given me even more courage and a hopeful attitude because I've been through this before. Freedom is popular! Whatever gives us more of it wins, it is only just a matter of time.
