It is quite obvious what their point of participating in the event is
about. I don't understand how a company which doesn't contribute to
Linux is any positive/constructive way, can be allowed to
participate in
such an event. What is the criteria for participating in this
apparently
Linux event?
uummmm....that amongst others is why ILUG-D stayed away from the
event.
Conversely, is there any way a Linux company can participate in an
Microsoft promoting event and talk about the virtues of Linux?
Let us find out by proposing such a participation at next MS event and
if they refuse try to highlight it in press. Unfortunately most of the
main stream press does not know or care.
