The usage of OS X devices at various programming language conferences is well blogged and tweeted. There is perhaps a general degree of acceptance of the platform chosen by a speaker to demonstrate the content of the presentation. Having said that, conference organizers are, within reason, allowed to dictate the general environment and perhaps the strictness around non OSS OS is within that scope. It would be better if the organizers and the speakers set the expectations *before* the talk rather than *during* the talk. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://about.me/sankarshan.mukhopadhyay> _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
