  7. I write a lot of blog posts about my ideas,[^1] some of which are even good
  8. ideas. Some of these ideas stick, and many readers have attempted to put them
  9. into practice, taking on challenges like starting a business in FOSS or stepping
  10. up to be leaders in their communities. It makes me proud to see the difference
  11. you're making, and I'm honored to have inspired many of you.
  13. [^1]: 84 in 2021, and counting. Wow!
  15. I'm sitting here on my soapbox shouting into the void, but I also want to work
  16. with you one-on-one. Here are some things people have reached out to me for:
  18. - Pitching their project/business ideas for feedback
  19. - Sharing something they're proud of
  20. - Cc'ing me in mailing list discussions, GitHub/GitLab threads, etc, for input
  21. - Clarifying finer points in my blog posts
  22. - Asking for feedback on drafts of their own blog posts
  23. - Offering philosophical arguments about FOSS
  24. - Asking for advice on dealing with a problem in their community
  26. I have my own confidants that I rely on for these same problems. None of us goes
  27. it alone, and for this great FOSS experiment to succeed, we need to rely on each
  28. other.
  30. I want to be personally available to you. My email address is sir@cmpwn.com. I
  31. read every email I receive, and try to respond to most of them, though it can
  32. sometimes take a while. Please consider me a resource for your work in FOSS. I
  33. hope I can help!
