well there ya go! thanks. my fear was that an underlying hypocrisy
might be
coloring this debate. but it clearly is not. which I find very
refreshing.
This is a conference held specifically to promote open source - then all
of the presenters
should be on that agenda. If there are competing viewpoints - let them
be represented by
questions from the crowd - and not by the presenters themselves.

S if a private organization has a conference and doesn't invite me they
are acting within their rights. Even if I was a perfect match for the
event. I, in turn, can put together a conference that doesn't include
them. The public is welcome to interpret these things as they will,
filtered by whatever angle the media presents of course.
