I say exactly the same thing when people try to show some RMS videos at FLISOL over here. And maybe I should've put a disclaimer: I'm speaking with my FLISOL hat on -not as a member of the Ubuntu community-. I've been part of the international coordination of FLISOL for the last five years/editions, and it has not always been an easy task. I don't know if you remember, Efrain, a few years ago when some people from a certain community tried to hijack FLISOL?
