Well, I am glad that you are shocked, because so were we. We were promised complete participation in choosing speakers for the technical track, and were met with a fait accompli list of speakers that was circulated without input from our side. I must say that your follow-up letter was much nicer, and had much more room for cooperation, but the original style of functioning in choosing speakers left a bad taste, and an apprehension that ILUG-Delhi was just being pulled in to give a community stamp to an already choreographed event. For the record, I was originally very much in favour of participating in LA2007, but became one of the most vociferous opponents after the fiasco with the speakers. The goal of cooperation is not irretrievably lost, in my opinion, but there needs to be a lot more openness from the side of LFY, and a lot more ongoing collaboration with the LUG, rather than only when Linux Asia rolls around.
