Hi Arun, I guess you are referring to my blog. http://brainstorms.in/?p=243 Kenney's bloghttp://www.kenneyjacob.com/2008/12/12/fsfsin-and-free-software-nonsense/and the flame war going on at ilug Trivandrum http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm/t/6ee4f0d7d60b260b I just wanted convey that there are lots of guys jumping into the bandwagon ( Mainly on policy matters) with out properly understanding the philosophy. They use free software as a propaganda tool and secretly use Closed source. I pointed out at the venue that the JavaFX technology is not available on the free platform. But the speaker quickly wound up and declared it is time for lunch. There were some prominant activists around . No one came forward to support me at the venue.
I think I also have some freedom in pointing out mistakes on my blog. 73s Sunil VU2SWX

Couple of other points raised in blogs:
- I dont think it is wrong to show windows like theme in the exhibition.
- One blogger try to ridicule free software activists as fanatics. Another
blogger finds fault in stating that free software is a social movement.
Warm regards Arun
