world are involved in multiple organizations. (04:00)</li>

href="http://sfconservancy.org/members/services/">non-profit
infrastructure and services</a>. (05:10)</li>

<li>Conservancy will be expanding its service plan now that Bradley is
full time. (06:46)</li>

of earlier this year, Bradley is a volunteer director of the FSF</a>, and
now has additional volunteer work that he needs to do, while Conservancy
(his former volunteer work) becomes his day job. (11:09)</li>
<li>Bradley mentions that once you start doing something in the software
freedom world, it's hard to stop once people start to rely on your

<li>Karen mentions that no one fights over the work that <q>just needs to
get done</q>. (16:30)</li>
<li>Bradley discussed the fact that for-profit corporate control of
projects is dangerous, and one of the things Conservancy and similar

interest at heart in the center of their community. (17:39)</li>
<li>Bradley mentioned the <a
href="http://www.documentfoundation.org/">LibreOffice by the Document
Foundation</a> (18:03)</li>
