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