A note I found in my journal, from seven years ago, on the day I was summoned to participate in a jury of my peers:

I have to go to jury duty as a member of this democracy. what if I had a summons to contribute to open source software because I use FOOS?

      I mean, sure? Fill yer boots.

      That’s what the public forum is: a collection of different opinions and perspectives.

      I think the state forcing someone to both learn to code and then force them to contribute to a state-approved FOSS project (as that’s how it will be selected) is, IMHO, the opposite of everything right in the world. But I also get that some people find comfort in things or circumstances that horrify me.

      To each their own and, again, fill yer boots. 🤷‍♂️
