Mrugesh,
*giggles* Wrong example. Proposed extensions to the Pickle protocol is still technical talk and completely related to programming ;) And I don't think there's anything wrong in hoping that he'll teach me programming either :P
Yeah, but you should have got the point ... sadly you didn't. And no, he won't teach you how to program. People like Guido are only for those who have the basic foundations lied down well, just like Linus won't come to teach you C.
Maybe you should read more carefully then. I ASKED if anyone knew why he is here.
He's here since Canonical is on a tour of Asia. Its aims and objectives are clearly laid down here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsiaBusinessTour . Just a simple search could have helped, but I guess you were too busy being incorrigible.
Duh sure. I think I only said that I don't want attend IF he's here for Ubuntu advocacy, which is quite possible. I think my point is still valid. I still do not want to attend if he's here for Ubuntu advocacy.
Ubuntu advocacy. Yes, that's most probably the case. And you think you don't even need to listen to him? Would it really hurt if you go there and listen what a guy like Mark has to say? We all know what rms says each and everytime he speaks, yet we all listen to him intently. You never know when they share a gem with you.
I'd rather spend the time reading up on Chanakya and listening to Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.
... or installing anti-[spyware|virus|etc.] on your favourite box.
Interesting last line in the bio though:
Dislikes: admin, legalese, running, london winters, salary negotiations, _public speaking_.
He's right. Public speaking != having fun. That's what he does all the time anyway. Regards, BG
