g: Nice to have been a little part of the dynamics that make free software great. I had an issue with symbols in graphs in R with Fedora, asked a question on SO, thanks to the input received there opened an issue on Fedora's bugzilla, somebody mentioned it in the R mailing list, and it turned out this is an upstream issue in R itself, so they opened a bug in R core, and an upstream fix has already been proposed (tests still pending). I wasted a few hours troubleshooting, but loving the outcome. Bonus: this will fix a related issue that bugged all those who had installed Wine on Linux.

g: I'm reading through some of the documents of what it implies to be a "Public Benefit Corporation" in the U.S. Overall, I think it creates a good deal of positive incentives to improve on many fronts.
