LA and LB? There is a competition? I had no clue, honestly. I dont see how either - there are too few Linux based events happening in the country, and my feeling is that the more the better! > > A popular opinion out there is that ilugd refuses to > cooperate and work with BLUG simple because they want > to snuggle up to LA and thus avoid LB.

LA is a vendor-targetted meet where ILUGD is more of a "guest" given certain lollipops to stay happy. How many ILUGD members feel emotionally attached to LA anyway? LB being more community based (from what I have read. I might be wrong coz' I have never been there), it is a world apart in the first place. Have people working out these conspiracy theories ever considered distance and cost to be a factor? Four days to-and-fro travel by train for a three day meet? or big bucks for a return flight? For most people regional events are more suitable, and feasible. We need more events througout the country, not consolidation of events. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
