With all these strict rules, I'm assuming FossDevConf aims only at expert / developers used to linux, foss, etc. If you're looking to pull in newbies, then these are too restrictive. Surya Sharma

but newbies are supposed to sit as audience and there is not restriction on them. Also, I do not feel these as restriction on speaker, These are just guidelines. Basically I attend some conference where Windows was used for ppt presentation. Although those speaker are taking about FOSS but it do not match with true spirit of FOSS and Open world. For example a totally new bies when attend fossdevconf or simila event where he will find every speaker using non-windows stuff, this will make a positive impact on him. Please reply back how to feel.. on this ?

I agree on this point. If FOSS cannot walk its talk it will look funny. Just like Linux being used by anti-virus companies to repair compromised Windows.
