Shyam, some people were looking for an opportunity to speak ill of some other people, and they finally found a crumb. Just let them have their say. I was wondering what they were doing when windows was being used for presentation. They could have got up and protested then and there. I am sure people would have appreciated that. There was no ban on free speech there. The only mistake that the organisers did was not to tell the speakers to use only Free Software. This is understandable since one does not normally expect a speaker in FSFS conference to use Windows. As far as I could see, no one used MS Windows in the Policy track. I don't know about the technology track since I never went there. As you know, there are some technology-oriented people who are not very much bothered about freedom. In any case, there has been high appreciation of the conference from people who participated and people who spoke. Here is, for instance, a small part of a long post by Stefan Merten: "I'm just on the way back home from this great conference which took place in Thiruvananthapuram in the state of Kerala / India. I must say I'm really deeply impressed." Best -- V.
