We're honoured that you are trying to reach out to us, but it may be
beneficial to both of us if you can outline the purpose of his visit.

Is he here to tell us what he has researched and commercialised in
Microsoft MovieMaker 2.0? Or does he have a video toolkit which he has
open sourced so that its beneficial to the open source community in
Malaysia? Is he going to talk about the rejection of DRM by both
consumers and content creators (and middle men like Microsoft)?

Any information would be great, otherwise you must understand the
skepticism when it comes to Microsoft and the Open Source community.
