We could just enjoy learning(hacking) computers,the same thing for which we are here in MESCE. and there by be a responsible citizen too. Starting from the community development work like helping your neighbour to have freedom in using computer....to setting up a computer tech service company(chal no formalities just decide to provide solution thats all) to provide your native-people with tech solutions.. to hacking the gnu-distribution you like,.....to hacking the program you like....to developing your own program ...and much more possibilities are there that you can contribute towards the work of FSF and could be recognized by fsf too.. Just choose the way you want to be and try to live an upright life in freedom, then you are a proud member of fsf- Free(dom) Software Fighter:) happy hacking Shyam.k
