Hmmm. You mean Gnu + Linux... right. :P 
J/k

Hey, philosophy, politics  and GNU/Linux do mix. Sometimes, we must find a happy medium within our culture where there is a time and place for political activism. I have spent a lot of my career as a free software/free speech activist and politics definitely have a lot to do with the community.

Without the community, the first DMCA protest in 2000 would not have happened. Subsequent protests against the DMCA and SOPA would not have occurred. Of course, there is a fine line to walk. However, please don't ever censor ....

:D

Ok,  let's get serious.  I think maybe we should define what this list is all about.

This list is about Linux and Linux related topics.

No politics - Ok.  Can be talk about H1B visa's?  Or would that be prohibited?

What else is prohibited?

What would be allowed but OT?

Installing PHP on a Linux box would be on-topic and programming in PHP could be allowed but off topic?

I'm being 100% sincere.  We all know I have posted lots of stuff that was political and about God.  And I know we have gotten to this point before.  We have even had people leave the list because they did not like other peoples political views or they did not want to hear about God.

PLUG is part of the community I live in.  So I often say what is on my mind.

The sad thing is our Gov is imploding right in front of our eyes and some or most on the list do not want to talk about it.  If you do not want to talk about it I understand.  Not another peep from me.

So lets talk Linux.  Who wants to start?
