gotta ask - suppose Microsoft (and I grant you it is the anti-christ) were to hold or sponsor a conference (or SCO or SUN or any one else for that matter) where the stated objective was... "This conference is designed to discuss best practices, raise awareness and the share experiences among policy makers from the U.S. and Europe. The conference will draw participants from local, national and international organizations from the public, private and academic sectors"
naturally the focus would be on their OS and their products. - would the open source community want an opportunity to present opposing views? - would the open source community cry foul if it was denied that opportunity - if the answer is no - then - by all means - ban opposing views from this conference - but - if you think MS would be unfair in banning us - then you need to give them their day (or 45 minutes).

Actually, I think if this and other conferences were simply to follow your "three step program", and I thought that was excellantly phrased by you yesterday, then that would be sufficient. It is a shame that they did not choose to quote that as well.
