Re: COSCUP / GNOME.Asia 2010 Call For Papers

[Frederic Muller <fred beijinglug org>]

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the ideology reinforcement. I agree that nowadays it 
easily gets diluted by the 'younger' generation. Not that they voluntary 
push for Open Source over Free Software, but rather that they take this 
freedom for granted (not without surprises at times).

I see that you're offering to attend personally, I think that would be a 
great opportunity for both GNOME and Open Source in Asia as a reminder 
of that philosophy and the great story of Free Software. In the event of 
schedule problems on your side we do have a speaker able to do the talk.

I'll let Emily follow up with the details, but I see this as a great 
cooperation with the Free Software Foundation for this conference.

Thanks a lot for the support.

Fred
