Well,

I would not consider pursuing him as a speaker representative of Free 
Open Source Software community.  However, If he wanted to speak before 
our august body and explain himself, ask forgiveness; maybe, a offer a 
donation (of that filthy M$) to WPLUG (help him clear his FOSS 
conscience), (we of course being of pure FOSSity must turn him down). 
I.... might be willing to hear him out.
