[opensuse] Is your LUG under attack?
Greetings, My LUG had its Wiki defaced and I receive not less than 10 insulting emails since the events of 02nd November, 2006. I am writing to inform you about my experience and also, on what information can we rely on, what do you tell your members and the public when you get aggressed. For example, we had a Software Freedom Day last Saturday and a few people barged in to insult me. You may contact me in private if you wish, no problem.

Insult you? was it personal? what was it about? Wiki's and websites are constantly under attack but this sounds more serious if people are bursting into meetings to abuse you and others, have you upset someone? -- Regards Peter Cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Yes Peter, According to "them" we are accomplices of Novell being NUI... One of them say that I am a M$ agent, he was not joking because it was on a Mailinglist and others sort of not disagree with him, instead nailed me a bit more. It's a nightmare, my phone also rings and nobody answers... I am taking that seriously, but the legal system in france is not the world fastets, so I am at their mercy.

1. I'm an MS agent I sell MS products and services thats my job, however personally I prefer Linux. 2. I used to pay for SuSE so don't mind paying again. 3. I've stayed out of the stupid MS debate that seems to be more chest beating than anything solid because nothings happened yet. I still don't understand why anyone would hunt down someone over a deal between two company's unless of course you've been whipping up hysteria. Are you connected to either company in an official capacity? Even then thats no reason to put anyone in fear for their safety.

Thats why you should never ever give personal contact details, emails and domain names can be got rid of and new ones obtained easily enough. This sort of behaviour depresses me and does the Linux community irreparable damage its supposed to be a "Come on in the waters lovely" community. I hope things work out for you. -- Regards Peter Cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thanks Peter, No, I have no shares or connection with either company. I just have the bad chance to run NUI in France. I will change the registration details of the domain name and also contact emails. And in France, "they" were already integrists _before_ the debate, now they have a bigger bone to gnaw and the "proof" that NUI had bad intentions from the beginning....

Do you have Suse or Novell Logos on you site? If so put some more logos on your site, from Mandriva, Red Hat TurboLinux, and Ubuntu. That way maybe they will get the idea you are a user group and not a Novell Salesman. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

as far as I understand, NUI is a professional Novell customers association (http://www.nuinet.com/index.php/Novell_Users_International) there is problems on a french user group (april) having announced the french NUI meeting I don't understand so harsh reaction, I can't accept this, what ever thing one can say against NUI if any jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
