As a nepali free software user and a programmer myself, I'd totally agree to Bibek's point.
The only reason I believe this discussion is happening in the first place is because of D2H's name in the title of the even. My suggestion is to have it under Gold Sponsor / Sponsored by: D2Hawke and keep the event title as it should be :-) Lot of free software meetups/events such as OSDC, Linux.conf.au, UDC etc.. are sponsored by commercial companies(Google, Redhat etc..) yet their name never appear on the title of the event itself because they are exactly that - a sponsor; no more or no less ;-) and the event serves a purpose to those organisation by making their name visible and more marketable. Suffice it to say they do get the visibility, credit and a name for themselves by having it under Gold / Silver / Bronze sponsors. Let the title remain intact (i.e., Software Freedom Day Nepal) because it is exactly that; a celebration of free software; not a commercial one. :-) Lastly, I believe free software isn't just about a libre software. It's a community, a mindset that has to be honoured with time. -- Regards, Ishwor Gurung --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
