Hi,
" Don't publish papers with the IEEE! As the IEEE rejects public-domain papers, let the public reject the IEEE. See http://cr.yp.to/writing/ieee.html." says RMS webpage.
There is lot of discontent among the academic community regarding the technical refreeing of IEEE. Some also see it as a easy way of getting 'their' papers published..to put it bluntly.
However IEEE blr has requested a session on free software . We had already given them a list of topics ..
I personally feel that we should go ahead with the session.
Main intent is to get another platform to talk about free software : to a large number of students : with the intent of forming student chapters.

I think that there can be some sort of cooperation on a issue-to-issue basis.

Yes. Which talk do they want and when?
