I beg to differ. Its important to tell people about the history and
why its important for a software to be free. but well, me sitting here
far away from ILUGC and chennai and doing all the talking on the
mailing list without doing any real help makes me... umm... a mere
chatter box. I would rather let the people who do the demo (namely
Raman, Bharathi and all the others) decide what they want to do.
if I were a part of the demo, I would make sure there is a talk on the
history / philosophy, though.
I agree that too-much-philosophy might end up boring them. Maybe we
just have to frame a nice way of narrating it all.
cheers,
