There must be something in the water at conferences these days. A couple weeks ago, the Desktop Linux Summit made headlines when some participants accused Lindows, the primary sponsor, of hijacking the agenda.
Now, March's upcoming Open Source for National and Local eGovernment Programs in the U.S. and EU conference is stirring the pot as well. The problem isn't that the conference name is almost as long as the agenda; it's that one of the speakers will be from a company not known for embracing open source: Microsoft.
