Perfect reply - there should be no reason why we can't do both. My coding ability sucks (at least in the low level languages and systems environments where Open Source rocks), but I've spent some time in Parliament and I have an inkling of how things work there, so my time could be valuable for the Free Software Movement if I try things there.

By the same token, if I can't show them the software already working, then I sound like a radical with pie in the sky ideas and ideals.

We need both sides to win the war...
