[Ambassadors] When you are at an event...

[Gerold Kassube]

Hi there,

(from somebody who attend FOSDEM)

Yeaaaah, I agree with you in general, but let me clarify some things:
1.) It's an easy way "from outside" to put up your finger and point it
so somebody ...
2.) Who is the Sheriff in that case?

Just to let you know or many readers know, it was a "Policy" from my
point of view as an event-owner for Linuxtag (Germany) and to be honest;
on Linuxtag it works because I personally kicked off every person with
his private Laptop at the booth; also the FPL and the First FPL :-) You
can ask them (if you don't believe). 

Also to be honest; FOSDEM is as it said the name Free and Open Source
Developer European Meeting

There is and should be time to meet, time to hack and also time to
discuss. Who never been there, please come once, see it and go ahead
raise up your finger complaining ...
Please not earlier; thanks :-)


BTW.: I sit close to that people who reviewed packages: In the HACKROOM
(This was not done at the booth!

Hope to see you all soon again in person

Regards

Gerold
