Dear Sunil,<br>
<br>
Mistake is mistake and it has to be corrected. It would have been nice<br>
if you had<br>
joined as a volunteer for the conference. We were just a hand full of<br>
people who were doing<br>
most of the work at the end of the day. All the committees and<br>
officials did not do the sweat job.<br>
And it is a fact that technical track was on our lowest priority.<br>
<br>
Out of around 16 technical session only one came out to be wrong<br>
decisions. Out of nearly 50 panelist<br>
who participated in policy session, no one found any major policy issues.<br>
<br>
In the exhibition area only issue that was found is one person having<br>
a windows laptop in SBT stall.<br>
State Bank of Travencore was a sponsor for the event and they were<br>
given a stall. They were distributing<br>
their publicity materials. One of their staff was having a windows<br>
based laptop.<br>
<br>
Having windows like theme is not a wrong thing IMHO. Some one asked<br>
about streaming technology used.<br>
It is <a href="http://giss.tv" target="_blank">giss.tv</a> and as far as we know it is based on free software and<br>
ogg format.<br>
Video conferencing was with Ekiga.<br>
<br>
<br>
with warm regards<br>
