My only reservation about ATO has nothing to do with the inclusion of proprietary players at the speakers’ podiums, but with the fact that the conference, so far, has offered little for those who use and support FOSS while remaining outside the world of big business. There’s really nothing there for the “everyday Linux user,” or for mom and pop businesses that could benefit greatly by leveraging FOSS solutions instead of remaining dependent on the likes of Microsoft.
