I think we have over 100 presentations over three days, so we've
fulfilled our obligation in this respect.

Do you really think MS wants to bring the media to our venue?

Go look at spi-inc.org, the non-profit corporation behind Debian. Note
that they elected me.
My claim to represent the community derives from 15 years of producing
Free Software. This week's success is at http://phptr.com/perens . Take a
look at the two full-length books that have just been made Free Software
because of me. Be sure to click for the downloads. We'll have editable
source online, besides the PDF, by next week.

Geez. Right now, my participation in this event is coming out of my own
pocket. And I've spent a lot of time on you that I could be billing to
a consulting customer.
Most people in our community would disapprove of what you've expressed
to me.
