My only mention of an OS was inferred through reference of hip linux
talk. My letter was about project size, not OS preference.
Pre-setup tools and community could be beneficial to us. Or they could
not be. Moving to SF would be a nice step from where the project is at
now, and/or will be a community it may be beneficial to be a part of
later.
Sorry if my previous post seemed tainted.
