They do not share the same views as us. They could
care less about the freedom of it.

That what we have to try to do come Sunday. Get them
intersted in it but don't push to hard.

The angle i was going to go with, is first start a
small conversation about them, then ask them about
apache,mysql, sendmail, perl, cgi and other free
software programs, to see if they understand the
freedom of the software is what allows it the to be so
powerful. Next i'll talk about 3d and the web to
hopefully get them intrested in blender. And finally
recommend book like free as in freedom,or the
cathedral & the bazaar.

I suggest to anyone going to thread lightly and pause
about 5 sec before you speak. If we do this right we
could get a connection of business contacts.
