[H]omer	erm … not that I remember	Jun 22 10:56
schestowitz	Ahh.. okay… Bollywood would fit well because BN.com has many Indian readers.	Jun 22 10:56
[H]omer	Oh that one	Jun 22 10:56
[H]omer	Yeah	Jun 22 10:56
[H]omer	Funny as Hell	Jun 22 10:56
schestowitz	MS India head jumped ship possibly due to the OOXML fiasco	Jun 22 10:57
schestowitz	They seem to have bribed charities, you know?	Jun 22 10:57
tessier	A Bollywood vid about OOXML?	Jun 22 10:57
schestowitz	H-P is essentially hiring a felon before conviction, I suppose.	Jun 22 10:57
[H]omer	Yeah, I was reading some old BN articles about that earlier	Jun 22 10:57
schestowitz	Yes, <tessier>. It’s in Homer’s homepage. I’ll link to it soon.	Jun 22 10:57
schestowitz	I’m not sure if it’s related to OSUSE’s release, but there has been a lot of pressure on the server in recent days (since a day before the release).	Jun 22 10:59
[H]omer	Here’s the code:	Jun 22 10:59
[H]omer	<embed src=”http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/bt.swf” width=”400″ height=”370″ ALLOWSCRIPTACCESS=”always” flashvars=”code= a221a5c05697436edabcd72358abc097″></embed>	Jun 22 10:59
schestowitz	Yes, got it earlier.	Jun 22 10:59
schestowitz	Did a “view source”.	Jun 22 10:59
[H]omer	ah	Jun 22 10:59
schestowitz	BTW. any words from that Debian developer we heard from, who worries about Mono too? We need the truth, but Groklaw and others struggle because there’s lots of obscure stuff (no OSP).	Jun 22 11:00
schestowitz	Eben never returned an E-mail, so I’ll take that as “disinterest”	Jun 22 11:01
schestowitz	New comment in reply you, homer: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/02/15/m…	Jun 22 11:01
[H]omer	Either that or Eben is still looking into it	Jun 22 11:02
schestowitz	Just posted from Germany (maybe that troll) with an E-mail address that’s English.	Jun 22 11:02
schestowitz	The name he posts under is just some garbled mess of chars and code words.	Jun 22 11:02
schestowitz	I never spoke to Eben before. I spoke to Peter Brown and Stallman several times in the past, but never to Eben. I assume he knows me though.	Jun 22 11:03
[H]omer	http://boycottnovell.com/2008/02/15/mon…	Jun 22 12:11
[H]omer	When will these idiots stop claiming that I am “denying” or “forcing” people to do something? I’m not “forcing” anyone to embrace Freedom.	Jun 22 12:12
schestowitz	It’s spin doctoring. I’ve just found some good RMS quotes that describe exactly what you’re experiencing here.	Jun 22 12:16
[H]omer	What’s the URL for that “Freedom Vs Power” article on gnu.org (or fsf)?	Jun 22 12:23
[H]omer	Got it: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fr…	Jun 22 12:24
schestowitz	I posted a comment a few moments ago that related to this aspect as well.	Jun 22 12:29
schestowitz	Homer, I warmly recommend that you watch this talk: http://manchester.fsuk.org/blog/2008…	Jun 22 12:29
[H]omer	Not sure, but I think I may have seen it. I’ll have another look.	Jun 22 12:49
[H]omer	Yes, I’ve got it (and seen it). It starts out a bit slow and predictable, but it quickly gets better. Overall it’s excellent.	Jun 22 12:52
[H]omer	Funny ending too	Jun 22 12:52
[H]omer	I want one of those hats	Jun 22 12:53
[H]omer	:)	Jun 22 12:53

schestowitz	I know this may be frowned upon, but one channel that occasionally discusses document standards (ODF) is also #oiic , in case someone ever wishes to join in. They were glad that Marbux wasn’t there to troll.	Jun 22 20:14
