“There is a big problem in the FOSS world. Especially with
Linux. That problem is every group considers themselves to be on
their own little island and only wish to concern themselves with

“This gives an image of many different people squabbling and
fighting each other for petty reasons. Much like gang wars or
primitive villages competing against each other.
