Re: The problem on the foundation front page
Murray, I deeply regret if I made impression of any kind of thought police. All I wanted was clarity and unambiguity (=unequivocalness).

A link to www.opensource.org can bring out the idea: Free Software = Open Source. I would prefer GNOME to officially withdraw from GNU rather than be repeatedly subject to the thought police. We happily represent a range of opinions and can't possibly be forced to forever avoid any mention of something that you don't agree with and/or be forced to promote exactly what you think is important this week in exactly the words that you dictate to us.

The problem on the foundation front page
Hello people, I just looked at the foundation front page http://foundation.gnome.org/ and found somewhat strange sentense: GNOME is part of the GNU Project, and is Free Software (sometimes referred to as Open Source software). Don't you think that for a project wich is the part of the GNU project mixing Free Software and Open Source as synonyms is unforgivable mistake? Sorry for being pedantic - but I think we should be rather careful about these things.

Re: Call for invitations to be the host of GUADEC 2008
But one thing is for sure - the travel costs for attendees is something which will definitely be taken into account, and in general that will exclude anything outside North America and Europe. I think excluding NA would be reasonable as well - there are so many OSS conferences on the other side of the pond, please leave something to good old Europe:) Cheers, Sergey ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: Call for invitations to be the host of GUADEC 2008
Perhaps the biggest free software business conferences are in the US (your LinuxWorlds and OSCons of the world), but all the best community conferences happen outside the US. OK, then let's keep it this way:) Sergey ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
