I don't think so... maybe not, but let's fit the intro in 15 minutes. after the meet, the newbies could ask questions one-to-one. let's see what happens. > Let us put our feet in the shoes of a newbie, would that be justified if > someone starts speaking with you in 'Hindi/Punjabi' and suddenly starts > 'French' and the tragedy is that before that, everyone was enjoying the > show but now everyone else are enjoying the show except me along with > some few newbie and we are watching each others faces :-( agreed. but 15 minutes of orientation is better than none. this is my stand of compromise. > > Won't it be a great idea if we arrange the similar newbie meet after the > great success of Dec 2003 meet so that we can give the justice to > newbie? > well, that's what ashlin and i decided with a few others. but sadly, nothing happened to it. hence this brute-force 'shoe-horning' of a newbie intro+talk of 15 minutes to get the ball rolling. > Comments? yes. *if* newbies want: they can start a new thread, aptly called 'ilug-d meet for newbies'. they can announce a tentative date, like 4th april, request for venue, request for speakers, choose the kind of newbie topics they wish to have covered "windoze migration, dual-boot install, etc.; how do i do...; install-fest; what's a distro; what is GPL, is it an english acronym...;" and other newbie questions they may have. people on the list could respond. newbies who wish to attend, or even perpetual newbies like me and sudev, could attend. speakers could volunteer, and there you have it: your own newbie meet. simple. newbies, don't feel hesitant to express your wish,suggestion,request on this list. that's what it is for. no one will hold your hand and usher you in. but you could ask. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
