Yes, I agree - But its not the first time Google is participating in an OSS event. They were/are there everywhere. Also, Google doesn't display a product which becomes a subject of debating. Second, google wasn't with eye candy gurls. I do not want to make a comparison with the two people you were speaking about, still they were far more un-eye-candy or seductive (f thats too strong a word, take it as attracting-by-skin). Also, that the girls at Google stall were far more knowledged about Google, than those put up at M$ stall. And, really they were open to suggestions - there were one guy suggesting that results of clusty.com were a bit better than google's (sometimes) and wanted google to make a note of it. From what I was told by the people at Google, their stall was aimed at recruitment and hence people were asked to drop down their business cards or fill up a similar stall. I do not think this is anything hindering to a Linux Conference. Am not a Anti-M$ fervor, if you were in other mailing lists (glug-bom and ilugc) you could have even seen me saying "we are not to consider M$ as enemies" and a lot of people spoke its not bad considering so. And am not pro-google as well. -- With Regards Parthan (TechnoFreak) .
