<div dir="auto">Dear Steven,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">With all due respect, I would like to throw some light. Mahatma Gandhi was not just a person, he is a thought, a thought that is the need of the World to maintain peace. His ideology is the solution to the World's problems be it war, international relations, etc. <br><br></div><div dir="auto">I agree that there might be differences on Mahatma Gandhi's ideology. However, it is not just his birthday; it is recognised by the UN as the International Day of Non-Violence. The sole aim of this day is to disseminate the message of non-violence, including through <b>education</b> and <b>public awareness. </b>Thus, it is quite relevant.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">PS: We can always agree to disagree, which is fine.</div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto"><br>--<br>Thanks & Kind Regards,<br>Kavita V.

<p>Steven,</p>
<p><span>Sorry for intervening but I think that type of "reproach" should be done privately. I know Suchith and I am sure that he does it with the best intentions. At least your comment sounded a little out of touch to me. Let's try to maintain a good communication

<div> I’m missing something. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you explain how this is relevant to OSGeo? Today is also the birthday of King Richard 3rd of England, Groucho Marx, Coco the Clown, Robert Henry Lawrence Jr and many others but I don’t think any of them were open source digital geographers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand why you might admire Gandhi but others may not agree. OSGeo Discuss is not the place for these conversations imo, which is evidenced by the lack of response that such posts receive</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps the GeoforAll list is a more relevant place?</div>
