Hello Everyone,
We had quite a wonderful meet today, thanks to the great organising skills
of Arshad Siddiqui and his friends at Jamia Hamdard. The meet started
around 2:30 pm ( not too late, compared to some of the other meets ).
Since both Gagan and LinuxLingam did not turn up, the pre-decided agenda
of talks on LWP/Threads/Clones and Projects by Linux Delhi could not be
met with. Instead, Raj offered to give a presentation, and even gave us a
long list to choose from.
Since most of the attendees were first timers, it was decided almost
unanimously that Raj speak about Free Software and its significance in
today's scenario.
The meet started with the regular feature of introductions, and then Raj
took over the stage and gave a wonderful presentation on Free Software. He
covered almost all aspects of Free Software philosophy and ideology. He
even explained the various licenses in detail and gave a nice comparison
of the various models.
By the way, Raj's presentations are GPL'ed, so if anyone wants them,
simply mail him, and ask for them. But remember to be *very* polite. He
may not be in a very good mood ;)
The presentation was followed by a Tea break, courtesy Arshad and his
team.
Supreet Sethi then gave a nice talk on Electronic Mail. Yes, the same
thing that we use to communicate via this mailing list. He explained the
technology behind email, and how email goes from your machine to the other
person. A very informative and educating talk. I'm sure all those who
attended it will agree with me there :)
Thats about it for the formal part. The scene then shifted to the Jamia
Hamdard Canteen, where we all had samosas and cold drinks.
Some of the things being discussed at the meet were :
1. possibility of organising a symposium, with multiple tracks, like
Clustering, Linux at the Desktop, Linux in the Enterprise etc. Basically
technical stuff. Contact Supreet (supreet at linux-delhi dot org) for
details.
2. A complete over-haul of the Linux-Delhi website. Interested people with
interesting ideas on a new look/feel for the site, contact Vipul (vipul at
linux-delhi dot org)
3. T-shirts -- Shehjad had taken responsibilty for this. Find him.
Thats about all. Suggestions and Feedback about the meet welcome.
regards,
Gami
