<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Ah, the drama
version alias the one-man-show! Organizers asked the posters to be removed
triggering the one-man-show exponentially. I came across numerous
mails/blogs/messages that a mob of 20 was protesting. But this one big man was
being recorded by the rest in their respective hi-technology cell phones
– and the man was happy and on fire. 20 minutes </span></font>after this
incident – pics & movies in various angles were posted online –
the very proof to the above fact. Before attempting any intentional-publicity-claim,
informing the media<font color=black><span style='color:black'> is a dirty
trick played so often by many such small 'organizations'. He knew it, the <b><i><span
style='font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>samurai</span></i></b>, and now we
know it, watching his moves n movies in the videos recorded. Allies arrived
flying for rescue aid in 20 minutes after the show-off started – now that
makes me suspicious (just me or even you?). A 'press conference' threat raised
by this gentleman incase the poster is not removed before the arrival of CM
proves his/their intention to the core line. The University Registrar made a
polite request, but then he had his own standards of replying dirty – and
so he was asked to stepped off (instead of being slapped off).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Glimpsing
through the Conference Organizers let me put my view in this regard. Free
Software has to be FREE as the name says – no possessor in terms of the
giants in this arena, no patent and nobody enjoys cumulative accounts. People
who have been earning money couching idly in their bedroom cushions are scared
when CPM, who has a massive and valiant history of struggle against capitalism
and monopoly, is promoting free software. CPM is supporting a fetus in this
arena of Software World and must be supported by all. If the people who messed
and the people who organized happen to be the same, I truly believe you have
affronted your own organization and give your heart and soul to your cause next
time and better keep things at your home within your walls!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

understand that growth and criticism seems to be parallel but they meet only
after realizing that the blogs and mails you use for complimentary, to
criticize but actually has to be colossally appreciated, has the tinge and
scent of the sweat, pain and blood of these organizers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
