Yes, I, too, think, events dedicated to open source should use open source for the talks and demos. This topic was discussed in PLUG also. For example here, there may be more threads: https://www.plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2014-August/009911.html The wisdom tech communities had in the 90s in creating open protocols that made email so open, so that anyone can create own server, own email client seems to be nowhere now. I do not know why people prefer proprietary platforms that are restricted / confined under the hood of one technology giant with no inter-operability. Regarding people finding it `easy to use' and all that: whether email or messaging application, they are just a form of asynchronous communication. Nothing stops someone from building a `cool looking' email client with the same so called `ease of use'. -- Mayuresh _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
