I doubt someone who is truly unfriendly could organize a hackathon, a friendly social event.
He may be perfectly friendly to others. What is relevant is that he tends to be unfriendly to me. The same argument could be made about your unfriendliness. We could not talk to you since you have *proven* to be unfriendly: http://z505.com/images/gnu-sign.png I criticized ATI firmly when it refused to release the specs for its chips. I'm happy to say that in October another ATI speaker came to MIT and announced that ATI was supporting development of free drivers. I shook his hand. I was also told that my protest had made an impression at ATI, so I think it played a role in bringing about the change in policies. However, that was nothing on the scale of unfriendliness compared to what Theo has said to me -- both in this discussion, and previously. I used the word "unfriendly" as a deliberate understatement, because I did not want to start an argument about that side issue. (Others chose, in a hypersensitive fashion, to do so anyway.) I reserve my unfriendliness, such as it is, for the enemies of the free software movement -- which does not include OpenBSD. I have never urged people not to use OpenBSD. I do not campaign against OpenBSD and never did.
