The motivation of Fossconf ( though I could not attend it ) is to enocurage people to use FOSS and obviously a presentation made on a proprietary software is not acceptable. I agree that it be conveyed to the person who did the presentation and be rectified. I have no idea , why you are taking an apology mail from raman to a personal level( which is clearly visible in the above section_), please don do this.

As it has already mentioned , it is not a conference related to a technology which is platform neutral ( like python), ... rather it has been named "FOSSCONF" ( if you could read). > 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?. You are confusing yourselves and probably other newbies on the list with two entirely different aspects. FOSSCONF is different , it is a "conference for FOSS.", where as providing windows compatible open source software is entirely different. Please understand this ... > 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?.

Raman did not say it is the speaker's mistake , he was talking about entirely different things, again don't take it personally, ....... > Apologize is not the solution for -ve points.

But we should on the list appreciate the fact that Raman came out to apoligize for the mishaps and took responsibility for them. Couldn't you have given the tips in a more plainer language ?? > What about the source code for all project demonstrations? If they upload it > before they attend the fossconf, then I suggest you to add this point into > +ve side and post that link here. I clearly missed your point here ( there must be something very intellectual about it) , can you please explain ???
