Hi everyone,
Over the last ten weeks I have been very excited about the things we
have been talking about and I have attempted to share this excitement
with my family and co-workers.
They all think I'm a bit of a wierdo now. My wife throws up her hands
and shouts "BUNK" because it sounds like a bunch of science fiction.
Most of my co-workers will talk about it but they have no interest in
becoming part of the solution.
One friend today said... "Heh.. someone else will fix that stuff, why
should I worry about it?" I explained a bit more why he should worry
and still refused to accept the problems as real and was convinced
someone would solve them long before they threatened his lifestyle.
The maintainers of the bootstrap.org web site might want to consider
putting together a HOWTO document with tips for how to become a
bootstrapping advocate.
Here is an example:
http://www.datasync.com/~rogerspl/Advocacy-HOWTO.html
Its the Linux Advocacy mini HOWTO document and it provides suggestions
for how the Linux community can effectively advocate the use of Linux.
Becoming a bootstrapping advocate is something that every one of us can
do.
