@ Mani As has been suggested, please do not cross post topics that are going to generate talk back. Most of the members of the *lists* you have cross posted to are not likely members of *all/some* of the same lists and therefore responses are going to be disjointed in each of those mailing list.
Please post them individually and summarize the discussion from each of the lists in one final post. On Sun, Jul 15, 2012 at 2:46 AM, A.

FOSS or no FOSS, FSMK needs to get the message across to a larger audience than those who do differentiate between "hacking" and "cracking" - marketing reality. Perhaps in the workshop content they can highlight this point across to the attendees.
