“My first contact with the ‘UN WSIS Contributory Conference on
ICT & Creativity’ June 2-3 2005 in Vienna was the invitation to

the 6th Free Software Forum (FISL) in Porto Alegre, Brazil around
the end of January.“So I felt obliged to at least give the Free Software Forum
organizers a chance to respond before withdrawing, but response did
not come until Wed, 30 Mar 2005 by which time I already had to make
a decision about going to the UN WSIS contributory
conference…”
