@stevepurkiss Unfortunately, I’ve found the fsf folks very unapproachable and set in their ways. You’d have to convince them first.

@aral heh you'll find that everywhere in free software, just got do do it anyway, everyone just preoccupied scratching their own itches -
@stevepurkiss Hence why I decided making a phone would be easier than trying to reform old-school free software/open source culture :) -
@aral it will take many approaches, I like the http://freedomboxfoundation.org stuff too. But mostly it will take marketing! -
@stevepurkiss You can’t market a turd (goodness knows Microsoft tries)—the first step is actually making a product that can compete on UX :) -
@aral my definition of marketing is connecting a product to its market, which is what you are doing with the open phone -
@stevepurkiss My point is that we don’t have any open products that can compete in the consumer market yet; we need to make them first :) -
@aral indeed, and I like how you merge software into service, it is all part of the experience!
