Dear Friends,
Though I am not quite regular on this list these days, I read it
often. I've been following the recent discussion on reviving the
group. As one of the earliest member in the list I just want to make
some comments regarding its evolution.
In late 90s when this group started, we were handful but we met
regularly in a physical place far away from city, thanks to people
like CVR and KKS. We worked virtually and physically. As
volunteers we conducted several public events. Free software community
in trivandrum was instrumental in many important changes in Kerala
with regards to free software.
Lately we have gone virtual and more of a self help group. While those
forms of action are not bad in itself, they are not sufficient.
May be we just need a Kerala wide mail list for that matter.
Trivandrum in the name comes from a physical geography. Can we come
back to the real physical world too ? Can we meet up ?
Hey friends 'real world' is much coooler.
Some more specific issues.
1. Name change to LUG
There was a suggestion to change the name from FSUG to LUG. Please
note that change of name to FSUG was made by members based on lot
of discussions. Let us not go back to LUG just for the sake of domain
name.
2. Website
Since there are some volunteers to take the maintenance of website, I
assume Zyxware will share site management responsibility to some of
these volunteers. This will resolve the immediate website issue.
3. Film Screening
Ganesh was proposing a collective screening of the movie
'The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz'. Shall we do a
late evening screening with BBQs!
(Hope the rain will not disrupt ?)
We propose two location, rooftop of building rented by SPACE in the
evening (free, with volunteer cooked, shared food) or Museum
auditorium where more people can come. May be this can help us
kick started again.
Hey Daniel, your work is really nice. I hope you will put more effort
toward freedom furthering and community based initiatives in the
place of videos on Ubuntu. Some of these distros hurt the movement
more than they help.
with warm regards
arun
