        I don't know how Ask Slashhdot worksm but Slashdot is such a 
        prominent site, it will certainly get lot of publicity.
        Then we want to make sure that our terminalogy is correct especially
        the point Andy raised about Question 11. Since I have sent the
        question to the candidates directly, I couldn't stop those in the
        foundation-list admin. Some have replied to my first
        e-mail sent and some has replied to the second e-mail sent, it seems
        the use of Open Source appears in some replies and Free Software in
        most of them. I guess we need to make sure that when we do go out
        we need to make sure of that.
        
        So far, I have not seen anyone making a point about this, may be
        because Richard Stallman is on holiday. So when he comes back, he
        may well do. Well, when he does that, I would have to make a public
        apology.

        Good point.
