This slide to apparent irrelevance has been voiced over and over for years.
You bring up some valid points. But who can say what makes this and the
other things irrelevant.
Think of the first peer to peer design, then came the client server
model. Will peer to peer be important again?
Look at questions about safe computing. Is the key asking the right
questions? Not just designating conclusions?
Who was it who asked: Can you have democracy if someone can know
everything you are reading? Was it the same law firm who has defended
free software the drives our economy now?
I see a world full of individual problem solvers solving the worlds
problems with collaboration. What is the business model for that?
Is my question irrelevant? Maybe, maybe not. People will somehow decide
this, no matter who is correct.
Can multiple people be correct at the same time? Is this a key to
tolerance? Sure glad I do NOT have all the answers:)

Good evening fellow CLUG-philes,
I have observed the posts for the past several years and my take away
is that we have lost a bit of relevance. By that I mean we tend to
post and discuss topics that are at best dated, and at worst
irrelevant to the idea of driving GNU/Linux forward.
The world today is dominated by private/public clouds, microservises,
containers, virtualization, big data, machine learning, etc.
Seriously, when was the last time these topics came up for discussion?
Knowing GNU/Linux is the nexus of all these technologies I have been
surprised they have been ignored. I mean, Openstack and other
orquestration technologies. Docker and other container technologies.
Kubernetes, mesos,etc.
Building a microcluster out of raspberry pi3s. Building a socket
swarm...the sky is the limit.
This is the golden age of GNU/Linux. We should be celebrating!!!
