[ILUG-Cochin.org] Open Source Fanaticism - (An interesting blog)

[Roshin Roy]

The blog post was made, of course from the author's perspective, there  
are quiet a few replies to it that tries to correct the ideas  
conceived by the author. I had had a quick chat with someone earlier  
this week on the same post. I just thought I'd share my mind on this ..

All those who understand FOSS may not just advocate it. I think 'thats  
okay'. They dont need to and at least it wouldn't make any negative  
propaganda and damage the cause.

But those who advocate it SHOULD be very careful about the words they  
choose, the idea they propose, and the facts that they convey. To be  
very specific to this case, what I believe is, all those who had  
discussed FOSS with the author, must have done more of "MSoft Bashing"  
than talk about FOSS. I think FOSS should be suggested as one of the  
options and not imposed as the only option.
