I will/would direct the foundation to use free software in any/all endeavors without exception. I will continue to encourage the foundation to work with other free software projects to better integrate with each other and promote each other. When we fight amongst each other we degrade all of the work that is done to improve and promote free software. We will only succeed in bringing free software to everyone when we cease the petty bickering which has divided us for too long. Only by working together and promoting each other do we have a chance to overcome the many misconceptions and prejudices which are aligned against us, and get free software into the hands of people everywhere. In order to do this, we must reach out to other free software projects and work to ensure that our software is compatible with theirs whenever possible, giving all of our users a wider variety of choices to use as we recognize that no one project is 'right' for everyone, but that free software is.
