Josh, I did send you an invite to check out Snowdrift.coop! Our intent is to be 100% Free/Libre in every way, technically and culturally, have no ambiguity about the community, and solve the problem of finding "a way to have a world in which we use free cultural works throughout our day to day life"
We believe that the starting point indeed needs to be 100% Free/Libre and not rely on things like Google Hangout; but we also believe that the solution is to make the Free/Libre things also superior products so there's no temptation. And our system is meant to solve that. Join us and help us realize our vision and then feel optimistic instead of defeated! (in case I'm not being clear, I agree completely with the criticism of Viktor's G+ thing) Cheers, Aaron Snowdrift.coop -- Aaron Wolf wolftune.com On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Joshua Gay <[email protected]> wrote: > > Join our free culture google community > > It is just so damn depressing to read emails on this list in which > people are encouraging the use of proprietary works instead of free > cultural works. > > I wish that there was a group of people I could turn to that wanted to > promote a sense of solidarity in supporting free culture.
