AnuradhaRatnaweera writes "Sri Lankan Government has declared (Google cache) the week starting from the 5th of September as the National Free and Open Source Software Week. The FOSS Community, Government's ICTA and the industry are working together to organize the week's events including the FOSSSL Conference and Asia Open Source Symposium. The week has been selected to end (well, almost) with the Software Freedom Day."

    No, the reason for your reply was clearly that you misintrepeted what somebody else said. I.E., you're a moron, as evidinced by the fact that you don't know how to use a shift key, or punctuation, yet still tell somebody else to "read a book."
