Discussion started when KG said, Meetup such as Python should not enforce FOSSy rules and I opposed that M$ and other propeitary technology don't give a single space for FOSS then why should we care for M$. we can be neutral like you. So most of the discussion in this thread is basically is on a question- "should we include M$ platform via such platform indepant technology or meetup "like" PUG should have space for Windows Speaker ?" My answer is NO -- However I am not discouraging windows Users. All I want to discourage window user as speaker to show their code when they can do it on Linux. > And Python said to be Platform independent language then we need not to >> include Windows guys.
