quite frankly i think its just plain stupid what all of you are doing, this IMHO is like a group of five year old kids bragging how strong their dog is, how big his teeth are, how furry his coat is, it seems awfully important thing to do when you are five but when you grow up one realizes that it was awfully stupid, because quite frankly nobody cares about the other guys dog, each one to his own dog, or in this case product, or choice of distribution, if a certain individual is being paid by a company does not mean that he cant love their product, or tell people about it, now in this case i highly doubt angad is nothing but a spokesperson for sun, who joins all possible mailing lists and then brags about Solaris or OpenSolaris or a million other things that Sun does. I am a big apple fan, i love their products and their Operating system, i also love fedora, am a fedora ambassador, but lets say five years down the line i am hired by either Apple or Red hat should i suddenly stop talking about either of those amazing Operating systems, it would probably by then would be my second nature to talk about such things, if it already isn't! , the point i am trying to make none of you cannot simply reject his suggestion just because he is a Sun employee, not a regular one at that! he's a student! still there has been such widespread criticism of him where ever he has posted , may be he does just loves opensolaris, may be that is why he applied to be a Sun campus ambassador in the first place, none of us know the real story yet most of us here haven't let pass an opportunity to target him, and yes i am not a regular contributor to the mailing list, and the reason to that is quite simple, ILUG-D rarely welcomes new people, rarely approves of new initiatives, when we , i was the one who sent in the proposal for a FREED.in or even a satellite conference being hosted at our college JIIT, sent in a proposal it was met with only skepticism , i accept that we were new members, but someone could have said no worries we'll try and integrate you, but nothing of that sort happened, Freed.in or any such conference must be held at JNU is what i gather, the reasons for that have been discussed earlier, i don't have the time and energy to dig into the mailing list and post you a link, but since you claim to be a mailing list supporting FOSS, i guess you might just as well be a little open with your mindset rather than just the software on your computers/laptops
