python is a programming language. It is opensource and most definitely foss. But. It is platform neutral and also neutral with respect to open source vs closed source. Hence a python users group will have people from all over - linux guys, windows guys, mac guys etc. It will also have people who are doing open source programming (a small minority) and the vast majority who are writing proprietary software. By classifying it under fossevents, you are not being entirely accurate. And also you risk having scenes where people who think it is a foss event questioning guys who turn up with windows laptops. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ -- LUG@IITD - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
