Irony.

In the same post you complain that no one seems to give a rat's ass about actual technology anymore and then you downvote someone for bringing up Brian Behlendorf as someone who has contributed to actual technology.

In fact Brian definitely has made a lot of technical contributions to open source, and the fact that you don't like one organization that Brian Behlendorf's is associated with does not change that. Perhaps if YOU "gave a rat's ass about actual technology", you could understand respecting Brian for that EVEN THOUGH you disagree with him on other topics.

(If you really want to stretch yourself, you might consider that when the same person is important in organizations as diverse as Apache, Mozilla, Burning Man and the World Economic Forum, that perhaps the last organization has goals you are unaware of that might in critical ways differ from the actions of the world leaders who they have to engage in order to have any change of achieving their real goals. That might be a stretch for you. It doesn't fit nicely on a propaganda placard. But it is worth thinking about regardless.)
