These students contacted Linus Torvalds and invited him to be the main guest of the event. Some FreeBSD users were tempted to go. I had completely forgotten the event, but the newspaper commented today that Linus never arrived. No details were known, but this kind of accidents don't open new space for "Opensource". It's also a shame because bigger local Universities will think twice before inviting him. cheers, Pedro.
