Kylix is a product that is not for sale (and wont be for a while), and is
of serious interest to many people. This event is by invitation only, so
what on earth are we talking about? Check

If the Linux community reacts to stuff like this by getting people's mail
accounts killed because of a long CC list, I am afraid we have lost sight
of our objectives and are painting a rather sordid picture of our views.

Hmm. Since I appear to have started this circus, maybe I should weigh in with a further INR 0.02. OTOH...;-)

I have no objection to getting mail informing me of stuff I may be interested in, as long as it is not Unsolicited Bulk/Commercial Email. I *was* slightly zapped at being registered for some seminar and being asked to sign an NDA when this was the first I was hearing of the whole thing. If these guys are on the level - which still needs to be shown - then a word of explanation in the beginning would have saved them a lot of hassle.
