<bauen1>congratulations on reducing the boostrap seed further, nice work
<janneke>bauen1: thank you!
<janneke>that's what we're here for; enjoying the work, celebrating the news
<Hagfish>celebration++
<Hagfish>it's slightly disappointing that only 2 out of the 60 comments even mentioning "bootstrapping" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23526916
<Hagfish>i think the article was really well written, making a strong case for the importance of bootstrapping without being too judgemental or esoteric
<Hagfish>still, this is the sort of project where a little patience may be necessary :)
<civodul>i think it such articles help spread awareness, little by little
<civodul>and indeed, more and more people are aware of these issues
<janneke>Hagfish: thank you, it took me a while before i was ready to write it ;-)
<janneke>comments often tell you what keeps people busy
<janneke>it's no surprise that bootstrapping is not what many people worry about
<janneke>yet
<janneke>note that this was the very first time that the fsf supported a bootstrappable message, on the bird site
<Hagfish>yup, we're seeing progress in multiple dimensions, which is great
<civodul>janneke: perhaps you should email rb-general, BTW?
<janneke>oh, i could have cc'd them
<janneke>maybe someone else will do it?

<janneke>civodul: thanks for the nudge/headsup!
