As an attendee of the aforementioned meeting (as well as the person who noticed the objectionable content and raised the alarm), I'd like to express my gratitude to James and Sridhar for handling the rather unpleasant situation as they did. You are both exemplary members of the open source community. Thank You. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
