Re: [ilugd] [OSS Camp, Delhi: 48] Re: Ideas Activities
Hey, I'm a lawyer/journalist interested in FOSS issues in India. I was wondering if the whole OSS camp in India could be useful for me. I still haven't got a handle on the scope of this weekend meetup, but if you'll be talking policy and current developments, I'd love to be counted in.

Interestingly, the focus in this forum seems to be mostly on business acceptance, not on community/educational institution deployment; which is different from the places where free software was born. I acknowledge the genesis and roots of FOSS and where free software started, grew, and flourished in the developer/IT/CS community before it was grudgingly acknowledged by major companies. This is good for development, but for widespread application we need to 'go beyond' developer/IT/CS community. The major companies should not grudgingly acknowledge, but willingly strategise using FOSS. This is when larger acceptance happens. anand ___ 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/
