Re: [ilugd] Re: Re: Re: Re: A Central CD vendor found--but there is a catch
1. Who posts to bazee at what frequency? 2. Who delivers the product? 3. Where from does one get CDs to sell them? 4. How is that better than ILUGD CD list? Well, staying in Calcutta and with an extremely taxing job, I can't really coordinate with ilugd for this even though I would love to be of help to the community. Baazee is basically an online auction site and *almost* a total copy of ebay. Lots of shopkeepers and other ppl sell through baazee with a option which they provide called quick buy. Items under quick buy are not on auction and they can be bought by directly from the seller by paying the requested price. The seller can post the number of items he wants to put on sale and also the time for which the auction will stay open. Once closed the item can again be posted. It does'nt take too much time to do that. Its better than the CD mailing list cause the net in general seems to have a wider audience and reach. Say, as a resident of bangalore, I would not really be inclined to join a mailing list by ilugd. Though, I know many people do join many mailing lists at a time, like I am subscribed to lists from 10 cities right now. But baazee.com, IMO, would cater to broader audience. I know RHCEs who don't have a clue what mailing lists are ? But they do know about baazee.com. I think we are trying to solve a different problem here. Efficient duplication and distribution of CDs. That involves a LUG member to just provide the master CDs and let the CD distributer handle the rest including duplication(which B T W involves significant time and effort) Yes, I think rather than the distribution, the actual task of CD replication and collection from various sources is the main task and this is what should be taken care of first. I would suggest, that this be done in the monthly meetings. We can make a list and the number of CDs that would be sold out in a particular month and ask volunteers to bring in 3-4 copies of the distros which they can burn and bring from their own copies and then next month distribute the money again to the members whose items have been sold on baazee. I hope I was able to make myself clear :) Basically, this way the users get their money for duplicating the CDs and ilugd gets a name for distributing those CDs in the first place.

For instance a joke on Linux may be tagged OT etc etc etc. If you are into ghazals find list for that or start a new list at .so many list hostings possible ... I would go with Vivek that tell a guy who does something wrong and it may work out better in the long term. If repeated transgressions take place flame directly and not through the list.

[ilugd] OT: FLOSS pitch
Selective snip of argument in favour of FLOSS: Open Source Software and Linux - avoiding a lawsuit by Alan A Hodson In the not too distant future, when taxpayer groups decide to hold their school districts and Board of Trustees accountable for the senseless spending of hundreds of thousands of dollars in computer technology purchases, especially software, there will be court sessions where the Prosecutor will be grilling the district's Legal Counsel with questions similar to these: P: Was the district aware of the existence of Open Source applications that involve no cost and no licensing fees to install in Mac and PC laptops? LC: Yes, I am aware of at least one department that after purchasing laptops found that they had no money left for software, so they used StarOffice, an Open Source application that is equivalent to Microsoft's Office... P: Are you saying that the district knows that there are software products that require no licensing, can be given to teachers and students to use, and still insist on paying hundreds of dollars per computer to provide basic functionality to desktops and laptops? LC: I am told that the real world uses Microsoft, so the district buys the product the child is likely to see in the workplace when they graduate. P: Please indulge me - what kind of car did you, madam, learn to drive on? LC: It was a 64 Ford truck with standard transmission... P: Did you learn to drive 64 Fords only, or were the skills learned transferable to any car, anywhere, at anytime? LC: You saw me parallel park this morning, what do you think? P: I frankly was impressed... very precise maneuvering. The point is, regardless of how you learn a skill, if you learn it well, you will be able to use it appropriately in the future, don't you agree? LC: It seems reasonable to accept that statement. P: So, if the skill of learning word processing, spreadsheet use and presentation software use is learned correctly, say using software that loads and saves in the real world formats, as Open Source software allows, then there is no need to spend all that money for proprietary products, is there? Ammo for use when I make my next pitch for switch to FLOSS. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

You don't need to upload a script to the server to do this. Just set a cron job on your own computer that mails the guidelines to the list each month or week or whatever frequency you think is useful. It'd probably be more useful if you sent the complete guidelines instead of just the link, since that makes it easier for people to read them then and there -- I doubt if people who convincingly demonstrate the inability to read the footers on each message (how to unsubscribe) would actually visit a web page giving them information on how to post.
