Nice to see full coverage of FOSDEM. What stroke me as rather weird was
the observation that the moment the audience wanted to pose a couple of
_real_ interesting questions to the speakers, the FOSDEM staff, like
little jesuits, hurried quickly to remove the microphone from the
speaker, after posing the question "Are there any questions?"

I don't claim that every session was handled this way by FOSDEM staff,
But i myself found it very _UN_FOSDEM . The session of plan9 was handled
this way. I attended the Mozilla session, where i was making some notes.
The way the Mozilla speakers and developers reacted to that, surely was a
little frantic. I was asked : 'Are you from the press?" No i'm just a
"professional blogger" was my response. Also very _UN_FOSDEM.

Cheers,
