that is the *first* instance of an MNC taking a visibly hostile and tangible stance against foss and foss-supporters in india. does not bode too well if that MNC also happens to be a partner of microsoft. novell owes an apology to the indian foss community. meanwhile, i don't know about you, but i haven't touched openSUSE or any novell product since their controversial tie-in with microsoft. regards niyam On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 2:02 PM, Praveen A [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- Forwarded message -- From: Rakesh 'arky' Ambati [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/11/15 Subject: [FSUG-Bangalore] Boycott Novell Protesters Man-handled at National Conference on Free Software 2008 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Boycott Novell Protesters Man-handled at National Conference on Free Software 2008 http://playingwithsid.blogspot.com/2008/11/boycott-novell-protesters-man-handled.html Here is blow by blow account of trouble that brewed up on the second day of National Conference on Free Software 2008 in Cochin university.

This is on Slashdot. Read the comments there-- one of the few times they make sense. If the protesters were on private property and were asked to leave by the organizers, they should have. Basic respect for private property.
