-stop using stupid acronyms like foss, floss, gnu/linux when adressing non-technical public.

-stop ranting about microsoft, in fact don't even mention them.

-stop talking about hackers.

-have a litle bit of marketing sence when adressing the public and try to look good: wear a suit and tie and drop the Che Guevara look (it really doesn't look good)

-get more women involved in open software projects, there's hardly any today.

-do not under any cirsumstance make any political comments.
