Well, that's just an excellent idea. Thumb your nose at dozens of people
fighting the uphill battle to use non-proprietary software in government
projects because of one talk.
Then forward this tripe to a list filled with people who are likely to be
on the list of speakers. Somehow I doubt they'll boycott.
Perhaps that's just the perspective from those who don't have an
appreciation for the small victories of getting non-prop software into the
gov't anywhere.
Looking down the list, I see one M$ talk, and dozens by people working
with OS/FS projects in multiple agencies. I see names I recognize,
projects I recognize, and government agencies I recognize. I see a lot of
hard work and dedication by a lot of people whose names I sometimes see on
these lists.
I'm embarassed for you, Mr. Safir, because I'm appreciative of the work
these people do. It makes my job as a Linux sysadmin for a gov't agency
that much easier to justify.
