Linus designed a toy OS (read his posting on minix newgroup dated 25/8/1991), it was the community which has made it stand out and a challenge for M$, else linux is nothing more than a piece of code. Linus didn't even named it Linux he named it "Frax" it was the community which named it "linux". > > i wrote the '7 steps' documents, for my own bliss. > Then why did you published them??

It will not be a group any more. To be part of a group or tema you have to keep everyone together and also be part of it at the same time. Every community has a goal of his own which can be acheived only if everyone works together. Imagine waht will happen to a soccer team if every player, starts following his own bliss and plays his own game. The result, such a team will defivnately loose the game. i am saying this on my experience as a soccer team captian, in my school > i did not put up the logo design for voting. it is > there on fdl so > others can share. meanwhile, i will go and print one > for myself, and > make my artworks, and posters, and whatever i want, > for my bliss. I posted the logos for voting as it was decided in the nov meet. We were not able to come to concrete terms for a logo. Every one had a rough sketch of how it should look like. While designing i conbined those ideas with mine and also got some ideas after viewing logos of different user groups across the world. Voting was just the first toward deiding on the comprehensive features of logo. Stop commenting on selection process opted by me, i am not doing this for my own bliss, it was decided in the meet in which you were absent. I was following a step by step democrating process and did not pop up with a logo and copyright attached to it. Ll, see a reflection of your action, your action to logo issue might give a wrong impression about linux delhi logo. Your design is welcome but you posted it in such a way that it appeared, as if anyone can come with its own logo. If you wanted to share log idea, you could have posted them and added to the poll, but what you do is, announce them as if they are some sort of GPL program which can be downloaded by any one and linked to his or her code. If three ppl liked your logos there could be 9 who would have disliked it, with an open voting we could have incorporated the features accepted by a majority.
with regards vivek PS:- please dont send me irrational, philosophical comments such as "your own bliss". ===== When DESTINY has closed all the DOORS; Jump out of the WINDOW __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
