Hear ye! Below is a letter i have sent to Engels Antonio, Bluepoint's CTO (yes, his address is indeed postmaster). I'll be awaiting his reply and posting it on the list. Ian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 12:39:52 +0800 (PHT) From: Ian C. Sison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [URGENT] You must reply to this Hi Engels, It seems the recent press announcements by your over-eager PR staff is making the local linux community restless, particulary your claim that you have the first ever pinoy linux distribution. If you would like to defend this statement to your peers in the local linux community i would really like to invite you to join our mailing list at by subscribing to our mailing list and sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It doesn't hold well to claim such linux expertise when your group is not even part of the community of both experts and newbies we have formed since 1993. Through our mailing list we have offered top quality expert advise on Linux and open source all thoughout this time. Additionally, it doesn't really look good to have a website supposedly dedicated to linux and open source advocacy and training - be hosted on a server running Microsoft Windows NT and IIS. Members of the local linux community have port-scanned, service probed your site, and posted the results to our mailing list. It is truly a disgrace to what you say you stand for, and unfortunately this kind of publicity tends to go around. Again, please come and be a part of our community. As we have proven throughout the years, it would be a lot better world for linux and open source if we banded together to serve the community at a level and quality much higher than any commercial software vendor may ever be able to provide. Sincerely Ian Sison _ Philippine Linux Users Group. Web site and archives at http://plug.linux.org.ph To leave: send "unsubscribe" in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
