12 Steps of Free Open Source

    * Step 1 - We admitted Microsoft was powerless over our IT use -
that many IT systems had become unmanageable
    * Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than Microsoft
could restore us to sanity
    * Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our IT hardware and phones over
to the care of Free Open Software Source
    * Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless inventory of our IT security
    * Step 5 - Admitted to ourselves the exact nature of closed
sources, IT compartmentalization and monopoly restricting wide
engineering advancement
    * Step 6 - Were entirely ready to support FOSS through volunteering
    * Step 7 - Humbly asked everyone to expose these limiting costly
shortcomings widely
    * Step 8 - Made a list of all areas that Microsoft had harmed, and
became willing to find replacement solutions for them all
    * Step 9 - Made direct FOSS source, education and training
contributions where ever possible
    * Step 10 - Continued to take IT source inventory and when
processes and programs were too expensive and wasteful promptly
admitted it
    * Step 11 - Sought to improve our conscious understanding of the
truth outside of clever marketing campaigns
    * Step 12 - Having had an intellectual awakening as the result of
these steps, we tried to carry this message to all others and to
practice ethical FOSS principles in all our IT affairs
