This has been the most horrible experience i have had in the recent times, Redhat had invited people from the Industry for their just concluded Event on Open Source, and after receiving a mail confirmation on the same, and reaching the venue on time, we where not allowed inside, on the pretext that we had only Registered on the website (Why on the first place did they Invite all to Register on the Website is not known and hard to understand), Just b'cause the Event was held at a Prestigious Hotel with a Cocktail dinner??? the guys where not attended to and allowed to participate?? well Redhat has to come up with some Answers for the same.
well it will be same old pep talk !!, why should u expect them to respond.
Numerous people who may have canceled their appointments and work just to attended this Event where to their horror left out of the Event without any Courtesy, Hope Javed Tapia, Sachin Dabir, Animesh Singh, Rama Singh, Our own Venky, and miss Aditi's listening, are we seeing an Emerging Alternative to Microsoft and the Likes, or does Redhat want to portray that they are the Only Ones providing Open Source Solutions, If they feel thay have a Monopoly on GNU Based Distributions thay are for a shock.
Why did u go to such an event when u were aware that this is goin to happen , simple solution boycott these kind of events , hey organize these kind of events on behalf of user group. show them how good u r with knowledge not with anger and frustration.Give them there own dog food ;-)
I have my grievances not b'cause i missed out on a cocktail party, but the way people where treated from our own community at Such Events. The hard work of numerous GNU Community Soldiers is being capitalized buy such a disorganized company as Redhat, and they want to term them selfs as Leaders who are taking the Industry towards Open source.
this is common across the board either u are doing somemthing to change this or accepting there terms and living with it. The lesser said about all these ppl the better, lets focus our energies on building somethin rather than cribbing.
Nagarjuna and etal if u guys are listening oraganize somethin on a scale and beat them pants down.
i hope then only numerous ppl like Yayati will be happy !!
Yayati dude we are all with you tell us when and where the event is going to happen we will all flock.
cheers Satyakam ps: Moderator this list is becoming pain to me the posts reach in three days it reminds me of snail mail. i think i need to rethink about if i want to be on this list.
