Actually Raj, now that I have re-read it, I agree with Hassath that it is *potentially* offensive to women. While it might be perceived as humorous to men, it appears condescending to women, and hence seems insulting. Since the blog is the official face of Freedel till the main site comes up, I am making some changes as Hassath has pointed out, *with* an appropriate notice that this is not the original post. I would like everybody on this list to keep pointing out whenever our communication to the world or actions is not appropriate to any particular section of the society - be it women, children or physically challenged. This also brings up an idea that I had some time back. How about asking people working in the field of FLOSS software for the physically challenged, to have their own section in the talks? Only FLOSS software please, because this is a FLOSS event. And how about ensuring that all facilities at the event are physically-challenged friendly? - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
