Great work, everyone who contributed and specially Venky for taking the initiative. Everything else being equal, a clearly-articulated FOSS policy would definitely sway my vote towards the BJP. Being the cynic that I am, I'm not sure how much of this would actually see the light of day if the BJP does come into power, but given the the choice between 2 (or n) evils, I'd rather choose the evil that at least promises to support FOSS :) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur r...@kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ 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/
