so maybe you have good reason to not like Stanco.
I do know Tony and he is not trying to take the spotlight or to keep FOSS advocates from attending "secret" meetings. He is trying to present well reasoned arguements to government officials on why they should be taking free and open source software more seriously. Had he started his speach by saying "Linux Rocks and and Microsoft Sucks", I dare say he would have been dismissed as a zealot. NY City managers were given a good, well reasoned explaination for why they should look beyond the closed source software world. Let's hope they got the message.
