[gentoo-user] A Thank you to the Developers for the Free Software

[gentoo-user] A Thank you to the Developers for the Free Software

[Ow Mun Heng]

I was feeling a bit un-appreciated as a Developer and I thought of all
the other developers of Open Source (Free) Software who relentlessly
contribute to/make Open Source (free) software.

I just wanted to take some time to officially say *Thank You* for all
the good things which you guys/gals have made to my(/our) benefit, of
which has either saved my skin or improved my work efficiency.

To All of you, I say a Big Thank You for it.

Let no one tell you that you are Un-appreciated for all the hard work
you have poured into your relevant projects.

Seriously, Thank you.

Hear hear!

I guess this would be better suited in the -dev mailing list, but
whatever!  The Gentoo devs rock!

Three cheers!

Hello Ow Mun,

I agree with your sentiments. One only has to use Windoz for a short
time to figure out what really motivates the developers around the world
to contribute. If they do not contribute to linux, we'll all become
 Bill's minions. 

You and the all the devs are most appreciated!
Long Live Freedom, in it's many forms....

[gentoo-user] Thanks to the user community

[Albert Hopkins]

While we're on the subject...

I'd like to the free software user community.  Free software would be
meaningless without you.  I especially appreciate the users who have

      * Used free software.
      * Submitted bug reports, ideas, corrections, artwork,
        documentation, translations, etc.
      * Helped your fellow user and guided new users
      * Provided free marketing for free software (i.e. spread the
        "word")
      * Challenged free software to do better
      * Assured free software developers that they were not doing it for
        naught

And remember: every free software developer is also a free software
user.  Thank you all for making the free software community the
strongest, most dynamic and exciting "virtual" community to be a part
of.

But seriously, shouldn't we be waiting until November to say this? ;-)

s/like to the free/like to thank the free/

*hides in his bad nazi corner* ^^;

Its a big mutual thing. Devs give us good stuff to play with for free
and we return the favour. Its one those cyclic dependancys... except
this one doesn't suck :D

Besides, ... there is not a real 'non-free-software-community' ... at
least in my opinon, and if there is, it totally sucks ;). The rest
goes without saying when you take that into consideration.( Ie: any
software community which fails to perform the above suggested tasks
IMO, is a dead one )

Are you suggesting undermining a great Amurican Holly-Day?  Why do you hate 
freedom? ;)
