I know plenty of (linux) geeks who aren't sure if they're going to go
or don't see how it's relevant or interesting to them. It's a huge
shame but within the geek community the FSF doesn't have that great a
reputation at the moment, never mind those who don't consider
themselves geeks. In the longer term it will be great if we can change
that.
