So how do we become more "inclusive"?
From the quoted text above your comment:
"I think starting at "Free/Libre/Open Source" would at least be a step forward. Talking to presenters and staff members, encouraging use of that term in place of anything more specific, would benefit *everyone*, and not just any one community."
From the http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x:
"The Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) is an annual Linux, Open-Source, and Free Software conference held in Los Angeles. Now celebrating its tenth year, this community organized event will be held January 20-22, 2012 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel."
So your objection is that Free does not come first?
Just to let you know, if your car is less then 30 years old almost every aspect of the the engine, transmission, Anti-lock brakes, and airbags are controlled by software.
Thank you, and Russell, for this information. As I don't expect SCaLE to be perfect, I don't expect myself to be so, at least not immediately. Hopefully one day, I will be financially able to purchase another car that includes free software--or perhaps switch to a bicycle :)
