Hmmmm. So far, in all the links I've seen posted on this, all I've seen is wild speculation about everything from the Mass software industry to Microsoft to the Free Masons pulling the strings behind the scenes. If that's what ya'all are bringing to the State House, be prepared to be received as the conspiracy nuts you would be acting like. You'll do the cause of FOSS far more harm then good. Based on available fact (which is, alas, pretty limited), this appears to be a power struggle. Group A is mad that Group B made a unilateral decision. Group A says unilateral decisions are bad -- unless they're Group A's unilateral decisions, of course. You don't need conspiracies to have that, just a few human beings. I think you're better off convincing all involved of the merit of open standards, rather then trying to solve the problem of power struggles in politics. (That would be kind of like solving the problem of water being wet.) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
