I will also note that as I go through the lists of the steering committee, the advisory committee, the "High-level Panel of Advisors", and the list of participants I seem to see a relatively balanced set of attendees. Granted, while I see "IBM" and "Microsoft" on the advisory committee, and no one directly from FOSS there, I also see at least three groups in the attendee list that list themselves as FOSS. I agree with Tom. We need to work through those who are going with collaboration. FOSS has gotten to where it is by convincing people that it is the way to go, not just standing back and yelling at them. md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
