Onderwerp: [DNG] I wrote IBM
Hi all,

I just wrote IBM asking them to reconsider systemd, given that IBM's
business model is different from the old Red Hat's.

It took me 3.5 hours: 2 hours to find valid addresses of Todd Moore,
VP IBM Open Technologies and Virginia M. Rometty, Chairman, President
and CEO of IBM. It then took me 1.5 hours to curate my letter down to 1
page of 12pt type. My letter was to Moore, CC to Rometty.

Given the fact that this letter writing campaign involves more than
just people in Devuan, and the negative reaction some Devuaners had to
this project, I will be serving as the central information point of the
letter writing point, accumulating and refining contact information and
reporting the successes and failures of writers.

I encourage all of you to write IBM. If I'm right and it helps, this
would prevent future incompatibilities requiring significant increases
in Devuan development effort, just to stay even. If I'm wrong, you lose
a couple hours writing a letter. The web page for this letter writing
campaign is as follows:

Thanks,
