Every event that has something to do with Open Source is attracting Microsoft
these days. This has been mentioned before. There's nothing but malice
there, as well as an attempt to blend in with "cancer". They try to lure in
Open Source people to come to Microsoft and absorb the Microsoft religion
while taking over Open Source companies and closing them and rattling them
from the inside (no, not just Novell).

| Riddle me this: how does a small company that is an all MS
| development shop, with a press release or news piece every 2-3
| months get that kind of PR? My guess is that the Microsoft
| machine kicked in--portraying Microsoft (and Microsoft
| technologies) as legitimate open source community members.
| The whole thing is a sham, but great marketing.
