I have copied from their web page the goals of the conference and the list
of speakers (not yet organized into sessions). After reviewing the
material, do you really think that the presence of one speaker from
Microsoft and another a known Microsoft shill (who, IIRC appeared in a
panel session debate at the last conference) blemishes the conference badly
enough to turn it from real advocacy to weak advocacy?

Here are the goals of the conference (from their web page):
The conference will draw participants from local and national organizations
from both the public and private sector.
The goals of the conference include:
* the presentation of best practices
* raising awareness
* sharing of experiences among policy makers, donors, users/consumers,
universities, and industry specialists in Open Source, e-Government and
related fields.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
The complete speakers list (not yet organized into sessions, or at least
not sessions posted on their web site), again from the web page, is below.
Note that invited speakers are marked "invited" and speakers who submitted
abstracts and got them accepted are marked "abstract." I don't know if the
unmarked speakers applied or were invited. Perhaps they are panelists or
debaters.
