aashiks'in

I am at a point in life where I can actually look back and see more than childhood and antics at college. I have few friends from college and from school. But then I realize that I now know a number of good, kind people. People who have been highly critical of my bad ideas and highly supportive of my good ideas. People who saw me for what i am and accepted me without any fuss. In short, very good friends. And they are all FOSS supporters.

The way I judge people who i am certain of being familiar and supportive of FOSS ideals is entirely different from the way i judge others. I trust them way faster than I trust others. No, I dont harbor a disliking to people who are not aware of FOSS or does not support it. But I trust and accept people who are in sync with that philosophy  a bit faster. And in all these years, I have done this without having to be afraid of misjudging people.

You share your joys, i.e) the good stuff in your life with your friends. This is a concept which defines FOSS. This sharing, hence, is naturally a trait of those who are attracted by it.

If anybody is reading this, and they dont know what FOSS is, read and learn about it , try to get involved. It might or might not reward you with opportunities and money, but it certainly will reward you with good friends.
