Re: [Ilugc] ILUG-Coimbatore
Quite interesting argument Long back when i was introduced to Linux philosophy , the first teachings was that don't call it as linux , call it as Gnu Linux . That's the reason behind calling it as GLUGS . Please correct me if I am wrong in this front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#why Quoting from the final link Why do you call it GNU/Linux and not Linux? Most operating system distributions based on Linux as kernel are basically modified versions of the GNU operating system. We began developing GNU in 1984, years before Linus Torvalds started to write his kernel. Our goal was to develop a complete free operating system. Of course, we did not develop all the parts ourselvesbut we led the way. We developed most of the central components, forming the largest single contribution to the whole system. The basic vision was ours too. In fairness, we ought to get at least equal mention. See Linux and the GNU Project and GNU Users Who Have Never Heard of GNU for more explanation, and The GNU Project for the history.

Ah .personal attack ... I love it :) cool - you were in Coimbatore and never started a lug or a glug and never even contributed to any of the foss events in Coimbatore Want my track record in it ? Here it comes . You missed my point . I never look up or go behind cheap publicity . 1.When I was in Chennai , just as a student I used to travel the ends of Chennai , to organise and conduct events . With just a 30 rupees bus ticket .I have never got the esteemed privilage of sitting in government's money and travelling in cars nor sitting in AC rooms . Sweat - I enjoyed each and every drop of it when it trickled down . 2.Chennai colleges know it - Want to know the exact students I met or the number of colleges I traveled ?? 3.I was in Coimbatore for 7 months - a split of 2 months during june - august 2009 and the last few months of my career - 3 months .SOme people sitting in Chennai have been here since ages and allowed proprietary to florish , wat could have i done in 3 months ? Thats the reason i could not contribute .Even in that dire circumstances , i have reached engineering colleges , polytechnic colleges inn and around Coimbatore , plus Erode . 4.In the moths I was in Bangalore , I worked with most of the Glugs in Bangalore colleges, simultaneous member of Free software movement karnataka and Free software foundation, Tamilnadu . - Please refer to fsmk (Free software movement karnataka ) for my contribution towars colleges in Bangalore , Mysore . 5.I never told that you are not a team player, I just told we need team players . Long ago I heard a tamil proverb (#2984;#3009;#2979;#2994;#3009;#2990;#3021; #2980;#2985;#3021;#2997;#3006;#2991;#3006;#2994;#3021; #2965;#3014;#2975;#3009;m) , was searching for an example , gods grace , found you . 6.No use - Good word , good word . Appreciated .People always think to impose their character on others. 7.Shove - just now I referred my oxford dictionary and found that shove means Push . Yes , we will push free software into young minds . I would also shove anti-GNU people . Since it was a personal attack on me , i too have attacked personally . Who ever has/have committed mistake please replace people with your name and read it and get angry . Others , I never hesitate - I am sorry :( . I never meant to hurt you . -Sibi ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] ILUG-Coimbatore
Coimbatore colleges -- especially the self-financing engg colleges -- have a positive reputation of working in collaboration, e.g., they were among the first to have common recruitment melas. While the meet could be rotated amongst colleges, it may be preferable to have an apex institution to fall back on. some more suggestions In the past 3 months I have started working with many self-financing engineering colleges in and around coimbatore region (including erode, namakkal dt). Karpagam Institute of Technology, Bodipalayam, Coimbatore Angel College of Engineering and Technology, Thiruppur United Institute of Technology, Periyanaickenpalayam, Coimbatore Info Institute of Engineering, Kovilpalayam, Coimbatore Sengunthar Engineering College, Thiruchengode, Namakkal Dt. Sengunthar College of Engineering, Thiruchengode, Namakkal Dt. Excel College of Engineering for Women, Namakkal Dt. Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode Dt. Now, all the above colleges have open source lab setup and many students were well exposed to them. Interested people may also approach these colleges for getting volunteers for LUG-Coimbatore In the next 6-8 months, I have planned to work closely with atleast 50+ engg. colleges in the coimbatore region in establishing open source labs and creating awareness among the students. If anyone in this list (preferably in the coimbatore region) is interested in volunteering this effort, they may contact me offlist. Regards S.
