    This is not going to be one of these catchy titles, 
    so “what kind of bs am I going to read here” has 
    little use in this place. Actually, this is 100% 
    true that contributing to the open source community
    might greatly affect your life

How to say one thing and communicate the exact opposite.

Well, if you say that this post was all about bs then I won't disagree with your opinion, as you have a right to say so :).

I presume you are the author. Listen...

Free software has changed my life for the better. A LOT of people have had very similar experiences.

We dream and worry about and hope and fight for and code for and watch and love the future history of humanity as it blossoms and twists and writhes into everyone's lives.

Software is eating the world. Free software developers are influencing that event (a little?).

Just seeing it and knowing it changed my life. It changed the eyes with which I see the world. So I thought I knew what your post was going to be about.

Keep looking, spetz. :)
