BS. F/OSS was doing great without all the marketing and hype surrounding it. No "mega-event" can ever beat the enthusiasm involved in a local LUG meet; where a small group of like-minded people get together and talk about what they like. Linux and other F/OSS were never made with the intention of pleasing the masses or for a market share, and it will always remain that way. Some corporates choose to use F/OSS because they've done their homework on what actually works for them; not because somebody presented them with a "LINUX ROCKS" pamphlet. I digress from the topic, but the bottom line is that F/OSS needs more people who can actually contribute to the development of F/OSS itself; not people who are blowing trumpets about how "Linux is better than Windows". -- Anant _______________________________________________ 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/
