im surprised to see that.. all those "BOYCOT NOVEL' protests didnotcome out..(IM NOT SUPPORTING NOVEL, BUT QUESTIONING THEIR SILENCE ) this time.. why didn't the blogs speak ths time ? why didnot.. the statement come out.. ???
Your mail clearly shows free software community is vigilant. In National Free Software Conference Community tried to make people aware about Novell's anti community practices and use of Microsoft windows and Other non free stuff in exhibition. In FSFS Free Software community is vigilant enough to find the usage of windows by speakers in One session. There is no need of same people always. It is good that the concern is spreading. That means our movement is growing. And this time Organizers are admitting their mistakes. In Cochin, we were not succeeded in that.
But I found Some blog posts that criticising the good job done by Free Software Community stalls . Those are not helping the movement. i feel. The stalls like FSUG-TVM, SMC, FSUG-thrissur, ILUG-Cochin, MES College etc did a great work by explaining Free Software Philosophy to technical doubts common publicAnd some blog was posted the use Windows theme in Gnome on FSUG-TVM stall. Those kind of fanatic critics will not help our movement
