I realize I don't have the right to dispute decisions if I had not been there when it was being discussed and made. But I hope that *discussing* (I know a very thin line separates it from disputing) decisions is not too unfair, is it? Meeting minutes are sometimes too terse for non-Delhi residents to understand why a decision was taken. - Sandip ___ 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/

The Indian foss community is very allergic to anything that aspires to All India Status. First establish freedel in Delhi - that has not been done yet, then worry about going all india. One thing we have learnt in the last 10 years is that the strength of the Indian foss community is in the regional bases. We must strengthen those. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ ___ 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/

Logically, being freed doesn't mean that you are forever free. You still run the risk of being enslaved again. If your objection is that people take freedom for granted and won't keep working to safeguard it, well, that's certainly something we wish to spread awareness about too. But is there a catchy name that embodies that concept better than "freed"? Maybe something like: sheeple-stay-free Nah, I don't think has the same ring about it. Anyway, attend the meetings if you have an interest in the reasoning behind ilugd decisions - it's open to all GNU/Linux users, we welcome inputs, and all proposals can be questioned/modified etc. The reasoning behind using freed in particular was: 1. to promote the concept of people using GNU/Linux being freed from the chains of proprietary lock-in. This was the main concept. Certainly some of the ideas cross over into the ideas behind libertarianism/revolt, but it wasn't intentional. 2. the domain freed.in was available. 3. we wanted to move on from the very localised regionalism of Delhi embodied by the "del" part of "freedel". But still acknowledge our regional bias loosely. So we could hold freed in Nepal, freed in Bangalore, freed in Thailand etc. Don't forget, we have "Bangalore chapter" of ILUGD ;-) 4. we could keep the same logo as before (the FD style logo) - though this was a relatively minor consideration 5. It was short (1 syllable!) and sweet. 6. The concept of freedom is bigger than that of Linux, or even GNU/Linux to most of us. So we might push the creative commons concepts too (at least the "free" CC licences that have resulted in sites like http://www.wikipedia.com for knowledge, http://www.jamendo.com for music etc).

So it keeps waking up in intervals, fights for freedom, and goes to sleep :) Sorry.
