Re: Questions about FIRST Future
I'd really appreciate it if FIRST could actually stop their formalities and actually be transparent about these topics concerning the future, goals, etc. They're becoming too much like an anonymous corporation for my taste, regardless of how awesome FIRST is in general. I like to think I'm not exaggerating when I say their PR needs a massive overhaul. Not branding, but media and public relations – something that actually has a tangible impact. The larger they grow, the more transparent and less strictly formal they need to be, if they wish to continue to feel like a family. Right now it feels like the teams are a family, but FIRST itself is distant relatives and the only thing that makes FIRST awesome are the people participating in it – not the people actually working for FIRST. This is not good, and I hope they strive to change this in the future and be less ambiguous about... well... everything.

I don't doubt other people have had different experiences than mine, but I also am fairly sure others feel similarly to me on this one.
