well im surprised.. im still not able to find a reason for the protest.. when. the whole community.. is participating.. in the event, it would take only minimum sense to get an idea of informing about a "mistake" that was happening..
The only reason that i could see is .. somebody wants to project himself.. as the "ONE" who stands for justice and all.. but irony is he forgot that in this act.. he was opposing the event for the justice in software field , which gave a qualitative change to the movement in the country..
Never in India it happened.. where 1500+ attending a free software conference..
