Thanks Harry. Maybe you should offer it up to the foundation to replace
the one already there. As of my last post I viewed and also converted
all the winning entries and as most did enjoy the winners a lot. :-)

But lets do the old brass tacks here. The Linux Foundation with poor
organisation and execution is not covering itself or the community it
purports to represent with any glory here; and failing to promote open
standards and formats in the first instance as I think they should be.

Hopefully the same mistakes will not happen in future.

Regards

Phil
