As you attended and proved your point to who ever came in. The basic issue was how can there be justification for FOSII to name an event LA and then allow the biggest opponent to walk away with hounors of Chief sponsorer and distribute products / literature for exactly opposite of what LA stood for. As community we discuss ad debate events openly and if individuals find opprtunities to show case community then they should. -- Regards, Sudev Barar _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
