@dancinyogi When we were dating, @mary was caring for her elderly grandfather who had to move in. There was plenty of $ to send him to a home, but she (and her mother) took care of him as long as she was able. That spoke volumes to me about her character.
@Aslanmane Just getting info so I can 😊
I'm leaning towards a 501c. There would be products/services but it would be cool to have volunteers with a community supported feel. Maybe @ajroach42 can offer some insight?
@marcosgutierrez @Big_Diggity You know, that is cool and I wouldn't have considered it. There are a lot of engineering folks who kinda hate the status quo but don't know about free alternatives. If they had a place to learn about workflows and provide feedback/funding to developers, they might be able to come out ahead without proprietary software.
@Big_Diggity I'm mildly entertaining the idea. I was at the mall tonight and thought, "What if I put a Linux store right next to the Apple store?" Things I would do:
-Sell new computers with free OS's
-Convert/update/repair computers
-Have displays for people to demo
-A counter of "# of computers liberated!"
-A coffee/lounge/forum corner
-Classes for education
-A few museum pieces
-Great quotes all over
-Plushies of Tux, Puffy, etc.
Give me some more ideas!

@MisterRogersSnapped One of my friends is a producer for a few iHeart shows/stations. They run pretty dang lean and most do it as a passion. I think 5 years ago, the last of our local stations sold out to iHeart. Radio really is a glue that helps hold our society together.
@ladyhope I have seen .msg files that are emails. They opened up in outlook.
