“DesktopLinux.com is withdrawing our support for the Desktop
Linux Summit originated by Lindows.com. We were approached by
Lindows.com during the LinuxWorld conference last summer, with a
request to provide a ‘platform’ that could bring a vendor-neutral
character to the conference. It was our impression that Lindows.com
felt the conference was not drawing broad enough support from the
Desktop Linux community and its vendors, and that they wanted to
create a greater sense of vendor-neutrality by associating the
conference with DesktopLinux.com.“Our response was that we would be glad to do that, provided the
conference was indeed going to be vendor-neutral. To ensure that,
we asked that a ‘Desktop Linux Summit Advisory Board’ be formed,
which would review and approve certain aspects of the conference
such as its content, press releases, conference materials, etc.,
and this was accepted by Lindows.com…”
