To be clear: I continue to support the FSF, and I respect the opinions of the GNU maintainers who signed the statement. And to those who support rms: please note that he has called for people to support the FSF as well. -
Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)'s status on Thursday, 10-Oct-2019 21:38:44 EDT Mike Gerwitz I'm deeply disturbed and disappointed by the hatred, bigotry, and tribalism I've observed from certain groups over the past number of weeks.

Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2016 22:21:00 EDT Mike Gerwitz Liberated 25k lines of code from my employer today. More to come in the future. I made the mistake of waiting to liberate things until they were refactored---the projects were developed under a lot of stress and time constraints (things have since gotten much better), and so the code is nowhere near what I'd be proud of.
