I think we have over 100 presentations over three days, so we've fulfilled our obligation in this respect.

Do you really think MS wants to bring the media to our venue?

Go look at spi-inc.org, the non-profit corporation behind Debian. Note that they elected me.
My claim to represent the community derives from 15 years of producing Free Software. This week's success is at http://phptr.com/perens . Take a look at the two full-length books that have just been made Free Software because of me. Be sure to click for the downloads. We'll have editable source online, besides the PDF, by next week.

Geez. Right now, my participation in this event is coming out of my own pocket. And I've spent a lot of time on you that I could be billing to a consulting customer.
Most people in our community would disapprove of what you've expressed to me.
