I asked Steve (@docbaty) at the after-party last night if he thought my opening keynote at @UXAustralia would lose him sponsors next year. His response brought tears to my eyes. Be like Steve.
“So if people heard the message that you said, Aral, in your keynote and their response was ‘well I want nothing to do with that conference’, well in all honesty, fuck ‘em.” – @docbaty

@aral Both simple and brave. How the fuck do we ensure that is the response that gets rewarded? #SmallTechnology #ProtocolsNotPlatforms #HardwareFreedom #SoftwareFreedom #FreeSoftware
@aral This implies that there are some positions we need to simply abandon as beyond recovery; not worthy of serious response. Is that accurate?
