 I've had a lot of great success recruiting from this list before, so I won't
 let your comments affect my feelings toward the talent on this list. It DOES
 matter for your tax purposes that you are working for an American company as
 a contractor rather than being taken on as an employee of an Indian company.
 We value our employees and contractors abilities and intelligence and always
 strive to give them enough information to make an informed decision. To all
 of you who have responded with Resume's and other inquiries, we would like
 to thank you for your submissions, and we will review your emails and reply
 shortly.

OK, that was a quite a reasonable reply to a somewhat snide remark on my
part. Thanks for the clarifications. I had thought that the implication
of your original message was that a American company was somehow
automatically better to work for, but from your follow-up I see that I
was jumping to conclusions.

Gora

 given that most free software comes from america, that most standards  
 are set by america and that India produces negligible amount of free  
 software, why not?

That's a non-sequitur. While there arguably are good reasons to explain
the discrepancy between the production of open-source software between
the US and India, I have no wish to recommence beating that particular
dead horse. Granted the obvious truth of your premise that there is a
lot more open-source work being done in the US than in India, I still
fail to see how that has any bearing on this particular issue, where
we have no idea what company it is, or any indication that the work
involved is going to end up as open source.

   Yes, we *did* invent the zero - and make good use  
 of it in cricket

Speaking of non-sequiturs...

 Maybe because they are proclaiming beforehand that if your IQ is more
 than 80, that is, definitely more than Forrest Gump, they will never
 employ you: it is the AAS, Average American Standard?

Oh I'm sorry I must have missed the announcement. When did this become

 Hi Niyam

 A weekend LUG meet sounds good and it really is a nice idea for me
 presenting the concept of OSS Camps there. Venue? I am totally clueless
 about it. But, count me in.

 Meanwhile I should refactor the website too. Thank you for raising the
 issue. Can you be a bit more descriptive of the sort of data the website
 lacks?

 Any help is welcome.

 that'll be good.

  Venue? I am totally clueless about it.

 What kinda venue would be suitable/sought after for this weekend meet?
 A cafe or something? Then how about any of the CCDs at CP(centrally
 located). IHC is another option.



depends on the number of people who express interest in showing up.

i assume amit, and sunil kinshuk, that's 1+1 =2
count me in +1

let's have a show of hands.
then someone could suggest venue plus time.
