Tridgell Uses Plugfest Against Microsoft

inkslinger77 writes "Andrew Tridgell helped the European Commission's defense of its 2004 Microsoft antitrust ruling at the Court last week by talking about Plugfest, and revealing Microsoft's lack of participation. In an interview after the court had adjourned for the day, Tridgell explained that for the past six years Microsoft has boycotted the event, where engineers from around the world meet up to test their software for interoperability.

With developers organizing an event called "Plugfest", I fear we're only giving ammo to the trolls who post those tired copy-and-paste comments here about famous Linux and Free Software personalities engaging in gay sex orgies. Couldn't the meeting be called "Interoperability Fest" instead?
