Thanks Thilo Pfennig, the emails have been convincing and all critics of FOSS need is one little mistake to blame the whole community and i don't wanna be the cause of the blame... So no more changes in plans towards aggression! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html read this and respect freedom... >Sashi, the term "logi bomb" alone frightens people. Also I do not >believe that its necessary to convince people aggressively. that i think is true.. I apologise for the cause of this whole conversation to all FOSS activists..

I do not think that there is such an ethos. FLOSS only means open source and free licenses, nothiung more. It should not be extended. FLOSS can also mean commercial software which gives users no choice. If you want more or something different you should find a new term. An on "hackers" - "Hackers" are also coders. So no hackers, no FLOSS. But I also think intruding computers does no good promotion for FLOSS. But as a hacker you can show how easy a Windows computer can be intruded.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to write up exactly what you are aiming to do post the images and all on the wiki. eg Internet cafe. Get approval from cafe owner to include software on the computers which can be downloaded to people's usb drives. Ask for permission to have the start page of the browser launch on a page which has something funky about Software Freedom Day and a link they can click to download the software to their usb drive. Perhaps this is what youre suggesting. I think its just describing it as hacking which is giving me problems because even though we know that hacking can be what we call writing code, when youre using it in a context where it is moving code from one person's space to another it tends to sound more like cracking. We need to be careful to avoid that kind of impression for an international event. Sorry if this is disappointing but I think you have much to offer for the event and no need to risk it =) Janet That way people can think through exactly what youre suggesting. We do have to be very careful about what we do with Software Freedom especially on an international event =) I think if you could do a display about the kind of work youre doing to promote linux in education that could be good too.
