I can understand why this may be a issue to some people. I think if they asked Windows users this, there wouldn't be as much of a strong reaction to this. Maybe it comes off as exploiting the good will of the Linux community, but I can't read minds.
I'm personally ok with this. If someone willingly volunteers and enjoys doing this, then what's the problem? But again, I'm not sure if that's the core issue at hand here.
it feels to me, like they're less looking for new people to start doing this "work", but more to connect with people who already happen to be enthusiastically going to events and showing off their laptops.
Not passing judgement at this volunteering specifically but willingly doing something doesn't necessarily mean there's no problems. It could still be exploitative.
Framework clarified they are looking for people who already own Frameworks and are already attending Linux events and happy to talk to people about their laptop. They’re not really asking people to do anything additional, but they will be giving them some free merchandise.
Windows did have something liked this. It was the MVP program.
