I vouched for this comment, was flagged. I understand it can be seen as trite - but if this call to action can advertise, we can reply/mock.
Don't quote the rules/guidelines to me, curious conversation doesn't happen all at once - or look like you think. This is used against dissenting opinion far too much.
I know folks here are partial to the scrappy upstart, but at least confront your bias. I'll share mine, comment sections - am I right? We can talk about them, hopefully amicably.
Criticism is fair, they're attempting PR. The smarter play, IMO, is with the distributions. They're doing this some already with Fedora.
Those people are at the conferences already. Make them your fans. They would love to help and are in the absolute best position to do so.
Framework wants free work from those who believe in the mission, ignoring the larger community - almost cannibalizing their own. They're willing to send stuff sitting on shelves, but not bring on Actual Staff.
The developers and integrators don't need a middleman. The users don't need more evangelism. They found Linux.
Framework wants influencers, advertising, and parasocial relationships. Work paid through exposure and trinkets.
They want people to believe Framework is grassroots/good for Linux. I want them to succeed but don't believe this is the way
