No particular motivation for this, but it’s probably something everyone in free software (and IT in general) should re-read every 6 months or so: An open letter to other men in the movement by Dan Spalding.

    Excellent. It’s easy to think there’s only two people in the audience who are bothering to listen, when really everyone else is just not managing to get a word in edgeways. And it’s so horribly easy to miss the existence of privilege when it’s working in your favour.

    Thanks for posting a link to my article. I wrote it nigh-on 6 years ago, so I’m glad people are still getting something out of it.
