hi Arun ,
 
 thanks for that personal note.
 
Though I expressed solidarity immediately i knew of this. I need a clarification. 'Novell' signs were put up in the venue earlier. Dr Nagarjuna was on the dias.
 
Did Anivar inform you folks earlier itself..which could have sorted out things peacefully or only things were informed after confrontation.
 
However I did  see in the venue  and in slashdot that very senior free software foudation folks act without restraint and like any regular flamer which is unfortunate.

my report and take on the incident in kochi conference and the frequent flames seen in the recent days.
