Er, what is not true? a) The original person visiting was not a marketroid. (I've met Sam, and he's not a marketroid.) b) It'll be interesting to see who they propose instead. (I suppose you could suggest that it won't be interesting, but I don't think that's what you're referring to.) c) Perhaps it would be useful to say, "we're only really interested in talking to your Open Source Office people". (Are you suggesting it wouldn't be useful to say this?) I never claimed that company-wide policy was set in the Open Source Office, in fact I've made the same point you have re: decision-making on a number of occasions in the thread (particularly where it migrated to other lists). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ "Instead you're doing circle jerks with the Care Bears of Censorship." - Siduri on Slashdot -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
