You're more than welcome to run a Open Stage session at the next 
meeting. 

Personally, I feel this group is slipping more into a general FOSS group 
than pure Linux, i'm sure if someone brought up a discussion about a 
*BSD no one would bat a eyelid. I don't think we should chastise people 
for not using Linux, the only reason the points were raised was due to the 
non-free nature of Windows. I think we should support any use of FOSS no 
matter what choice the user makes regarding their OS.
