I think one of the things I like about Linux and Open Source software is
that is one of the few things in life nowdays that can bring people
together across religions and widely different political beliefs (not
just within a country, but it can bridge people across widely different
political environments around the world)

Whilst campaigning against software patents and so on is a political
process I personally wouldn't like to see a political party claiming to
represent the needs of all Linux users... the userbase is too diverse.
