These instructions are basic and a work in progress. They will be improving a lot over time.

This is my family tree:
I drew this diagram from memory (it's not complete) on the whiteboard in my office last year to illustrate a point to a colleague: family is everything to me. Those shapes aren't just entries in a historical record, they're people who I've known and who have surrounded me my entire life. Not being near to them is as unnatural to me as not including my middle initial/name in my signature*. The shapes inside the circle are all in Chicago. And it's for that reason that I've always known my time at Microsoft and in Seattle could never be forever.
Since arriving in Seattle 8-years ago I've flown across the country (and to Canada once) for weddings, birthdays, graduations, almost every major US holiday (can you imagine having to call all those people if you miss Christmas?), a couple of drivers tests, and for one particular relation for
Herein lies my thoughts on what the FSSF should seek to accomplish and why. Ultimately, it comes down to spending the money that we have to further the reach of the F# language. How that gets done could make for some challenging implementation details.
Like it or not, language adoption is a game in a market.
Java didn't overtake the world in the 90s because it was better than C++. It did it because Oracle pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into marketing efforts to get people to realize that it was more productive than C++. They even took out ads in newspapers.
And other times you don't need explicit marketing because you're the default language used for a platform (kotlin via Android, Swift via iOS) and you get to piggyback on the marketing for that platform instead. C# fills this role for Microsoft's stuff that's .NET-based. Yes, F# can "me too" here, but this is just a tiny drip of adoption (albeit steady).
