That is the spirit! It may not be practical. Such tough questions.
Good thinking Giacomo!
Are we missionaries or mercenaries? Do we want everyone to think and
do alike? Artem Kachitchkin's post ought to have us thinking. So
too the post over in the neighboring community of Linux (posted
earlier):

In any case, you are participating in the greatest social phenomenon
on the planet across barriers of language, culture, history, computer
architectures and frankly operating systems. Do you want the
community to grow? If you want it to be more than a technocracy "the
Community" needs to focus on what people do. Solaris is a means to
an end. GPL and CDDL are a means of establishing governance/
organization. It is part of the process.
The next step is a currency of exchange based on _sharing_ which is
what people do online - and we don't mean iTunes (though it works
well). The Internet and open source software is driving us to a
common denominator. Let's not get jumped off the track by technology
even as it carries us there.
Any one have any ideas for Giacomo?! :)
