Over 20 years ago, I attained the PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER's License and have volunteered in many VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS. These include 'open source' and the A.S.M.E. Which DIRECTLY AFFECTS YOU.

How? The Supreme Court Case - called Hydrolevel showed that the voluntary organization was 'corrupt' and 'friendly relations' and even 'cult of PERSONALITY' played a part. every time your car or plane does NOT crash and you are not forced to flee from the nuclear plant, think of an engineer.

    warning: controversial.
    1.)Mother Theresa doubted GOD!, yet she is a saint!  without
    her, supposedly the organization (church) will endure.
    2.)Warren Buffet, richest man on earth FIRED his successor,
    with no clear successor in sight.  Both have NOT repeat NOT
    been charged with Insider Trading/collusion.
    3.)President George Washington knew some or (many) of his
    officers were suspect like General Benedict Arnold.

    Our pledge is to the trust of 'open source' and the 'rule
    of law' above 'rule of man.'  The man is NOT the organization.

    It is my sad and unfortunate duty to request Dr. Stallman
    immediately designate at least three potential successors.
    His position will be like Guido, founder of Python,
    BENEVOLENT DICTATOR of the 'ADVISORY COMMITTEE.'  This
    committee has NO formal powers.

    Such successors will give most of THE POWER to the
    ORGANIZATION, not the person.

    Warning: highly controversial.
    Stallman's committee will be forming alliances with WOMEN
    GROUPS (yes, he is single) - that's STRATEGIC alliances,
    not personal ones.  Stallman's committee has NO RIGHT to
    SPEAK for all of us.  Stallman's committee shall have
    PERMANENT FUNDING, including a small stipend for the 'leader.'   After all he has not had a career working for
    MAJOR CORPORATIONS and saved HUGE amounts of money.

    The only other choice is to ask for ABOLISHMENT OF THE FSF!
    I am against this choice.

    Dear Alexeymk.com: Thank you for speaking up.  Thank you
    for showing your IGNORANCE of history.  Why do such GREAT
    DISASTERS like Hurricane Katrina and drowning of New Orleans,  GREAT Dust Bowl (overfarming), BP Oil Volcano Spill, Japan Nuclear Meltdown (not presently, the U.S. has
    MANY MORE OLD Reactor/Fuel Waste Pools) and the presence

    of closed source Microsoft/Adobe software at the nuclear
    and critical infrastructure?

    History of 'Open Source' in World War II:  The AXIS and GERMANS were winning!  So, the ALLIES (that's including the
    U.S.A.) broke their codes/secrets.

    Now, most of the leading research is OUT OF THE U.S.A. and
    the U.S.A. leads in areas like Windows botnets.  Go, America!

    The movement of Dr. Stallman, EMERITUS shall be accompanied
    with CASH PRIZE, honors, awards, recognition from WORLDWIDE
    universities and other volutary/non-profit organization.

    GOOGLE, now that it has lost the lawsuit on Linux, will perhaps (repeat perhaps) KICK IN a very small amount of
    FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

    I shall be one of those to congratulate (I don't know him
    personally) Dr. Stallman as to his GREAT PRIZE WINNING,
    promotion and forthcoming WEDDING.
This 'crazy conspiracy' movie is pure FANTASY with 'no programming side effects', LOL http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Matrix

    Morpheus to Neo:    
        The very minds of the people we are trying to save. 
        But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. ...And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

        Maybe you have seen the movie and have been 'infected' by
        the CRAZY meme?
PS: Dear Alexeymk.com: When you see a flock of birds, using Particle Swarm Optimization, does the flock CONSPIRE to travel together? Can DISTINCT PATTERNS be caused by a MATRIX of stupid birds, not speaking to one another?
