I said nothing even remotely associated with this statement. I said that 
everyone is welcome and that the door is open to participate. If you 
choose not to cross the threshold and participate, it's your call.

I hope you do submit a talk at next year's SCALE. Also, I hope you 
consider speaking at other conferences, where you'll find pretty much 
the same open door, even if you want to consider yourself in some sort 
of subcategory separate from the FOSS paradigm as a whole.

Good luck.
