I have few queries here. Suppose a person is interested in a open source
topic, say example Python. She/he dont bother about whether she/he is going
to work in Linux or Windows. Will this open source world accept her/his
work?. Or you will denied?. This is wrong?.
If you are in a Python Conference, they really don't care whether it is
.ppt or .pdf (unless they themselves insist on some format). But it
happened during **fossconf** and the format of the presentation was not
an acceptable one in that situation.
If you say, ya she/he is wrong, then why this open source world allowed to
work all our open source tools in Windows platform like GIMP, Open
Office,.etc?.
Well the problem is not using a Windows machine actually, the problem is
the slide show was made using MS Power Point. This is why wise men make
their presentations as PDF at least to avoid embarrassment.
And you decided that this is [(a)] big -ve point and mentioned in first. Why
you accepted this topic when she uploaded her .ppt file when she
registered?.
If am not wrong, Raman apologized for not taking care of this. Am sure,
even the person in question might fail to take their lesson but senior
members would be careful next time.
You had the option to go through the files/content of the
author's slides before she/he is going to take that topic. But you did not.
A administrator can restrict these issues and the topics Wimax,.etc. Why we
did not restrict them before we prepared the schedule?. I am sure, we did
not yet defined our proper terms & conditions for Projects/demos/talks. Its
some thing like our Administration fault. Not the speaker's mistake.
Well the blame game is going to take us nowhere. As Raman said, mistake
has been done, lessons learnt and everything will be kept in mind from
now on.
Apologize is not the solution for -ve points. We have to recetify it.
An apology is way to show that you care and it indeed means a lot for
you, though it got missed/messed. Instead of passing the ball around he
has taken the responsibility and apologized. It's done and let's
appreciate it and move on.
