Ron, you left out the top item:
- people with imagination and design sense and general intelligence not
being able to communicate effectively with / capture the imagination of the
masses of people less blessed, as for instance
- editors of non-technical pubs
- editors of technical pubs
- arbiters of The Cool Table
- creators of third party apps
There are so many natural thought leaders in the Plan 9 and *BSD
communities. We need more who, like Dan Geer and Bruce Schneier, are willing
to actually do what thought leaders do, add the voice of intelligent design
to the public debate. Otherwise the only voices they hear are those of
vendor PR flaks.
