who were involved in organising this conference. Both of them <br>could not come and resolve. <br><br>If you want to know how organisers of exhibition treated us when we tried to <br>resolve the issue you may also check up with Mr Vimal, SPACE or Mr Amarnath Raja, <br>
chairman IEEE, Kerala chapter (and an invited speaker). <br></div></div><br>Request to put posters in two stalls by their owner were rejected. <br>It is very sad that freedom of expression, in peaceful manner, was <br>rejected in a conference on free software!!!<br>
<br>Only because of that we decide for a peaceful protest by siting down<br>in a corner, silent with posters in hand. <br><br><br>When
Sri. Joy Job Kulaveli and <span style="font-family: Arial;">Sri. Chandramohankumar</span>
Registrar, CUSAT, <br>demanded us to leave the place, (in a very undemocratic and arrogant manner), <br>we left peacefully. <br><br>May I know the crime committed by me or FSF India ? <br><br>Why was the camera of students were captured and images were removed ?<br>
<br>Why is Novell's name is still not there on conference website even <br>when though they are the main sponsor of the event ? <br><br>Would this issue have been got out of control if the organisers allowed<br>peaceful protest by putting some posters ? <br>
<br>Why did Anil or other organisers did not respond when Anivar called him <br>to come and resolve the issue ? <br> <br>Some people seems to have some interest in showing this as a CPIM - FSF India<br>fight. It is very easy to create David and Goliath and derail the discussion. <br>
