Weigh In On the OOXML Issue During Live Debate

lisah writes "Linux.com's Robin 'Roblimo' Miller will moderate a live debate today, Wednesday, December 5 at 1pm US EST (GMT -5), between the GNOME Foundation's press officer Jeff Waugh and fair competition advocate Roy Schestowitz. Both have strong — and opposing — points of view regarding GNOME's involvement with Microsoft's OOXML standard and vehemently defend their positions, so getting them together in the same virtual room ought to prove quite interesting. Although the broadcast will be archived as a podcast and available for free download, you can listen live as it's recorded and also call in to participate and ask questions."

That is not possible...

The Republican Youtube debate caused me to loose what little faith I had in CNN's ability to host a republican debate. It made the entire format look ridiculous (whereas I thought the Democratic one was great)

I am a separate Digg reader. Yes I do. Keep in mind there is also a lot stories on there that bash the hell out of MS and show off cool new things in Linux. It's like the vegan argument being made elsewhere. Yes I know that Digg has ties to things I wish it did not but if I always let things like that stop me then I would be living in a far more restricted life on the net. Hell, I remember seeing advertisements for MS studio on Slashdot. They might not have been from MS but since it's supporting MS in slightest should I have turned away?
