i heard gora mention today that we all could meet this sunday. kishore
concurred too.
over to you guys.

mailing lists are good.
community meets are great too.
isn't that why you're holding an osscamp when you could work over mailing
lists too?

 this is a scheduled community meet?  I was under the impression i am being
 called upon to help better understand the very concept of oss camp... lol..
 this changes things :P



kishore posted a tentative agenda with three topics. one of them is you
helping us all better understand osscamp.

now if i can just tar.gz my mouth while kishore, gora, and others take this
forward i'd be very very very happy, and even more to see ya all at the
scheduled meet.

[ilugd] internet-radio with amarok, over 4, 000 channels 24x7. all could go dead on 15.7.07

2007-07-10 Thread Linux Lingam
dear all,
[cross-posting to linux-delhi and linux-india mailing lists]

confession: i have got addicted to internet-radio.
i use ubuntu feisty, and installed amarok.
clicked on playlists, then on 'radio streams'.

my lower jaw scraped the floor
as i discovered mostly 24x7 radio channels,
probably more than 4,000 of them,
neatly organized in every conceivable category.

most stations stream at near-CD quality here.
i prefer those with NO advertising, and NO chatty radio DJ yack.
just the music.

have expanded my tastes to several genres over these two to three months.
it's an experience to expand your consciousness.
and to discover how we tend to get so rigid about our tastes in music.

anyways, on 15 july 2007, net radio could go dead.
check out why here
http://www.savenetradio.org/

you could read a backgrounder here
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/43064-rip-internet-radio-71507

and here i was, so excited about this new stream of radio juice!
been enthusiastically sharing and inviting people to discover internet radio.
i personally listen to atleast 10 to 16 hours of internet radio a day.
and was even thinking of starting a thread or a forum or a mailing
list so we could all share the multi-dimensional re-discovery of
internet radio on broadbands at home.

sigh!

[ilugd] Clarification on weekend meet

2007-07-10 Thread vivek khurana
Hi! all,
 I dont know what has given birth to this confusion
over weekend meet. A bunch of guys will be meeting
(non-ilugd) on Thursday 6pm at WImpy's Cp to discuss
the logistics about conducting Osscamp delhi. This
meet is not an ilugd meet and is seperate from ilugd
affairs.
 Just because I am attending the meet doesnt means
that ilugd is involved in osscamp delhi. I am meeting
these guys as an individual and *not* as a
representative of ilugd.
 Whether there will be a meet on weekend or not is
purely upto ilugd office bearers and has nothing to do
with osscamp delhi. (Though discussion about osscamp
delhi is on the agenda list). 
 Also, I think that it is a bad idea, marking cc to a
mailing list, while answering to some list. Either
forward  the whole thread or please do not mark the
whole list in cc. It leaves people on both ends in a
state of confusion.
 Please do not mix discussions on two separate mailing
lists.  For such discussions, please start a new
thread in both the mailing lists and post the synopsis
before marking CC to any list.

 Finally, those who are interested in volunteering or
coordinating some camp during oos camp delhi can turn
up at Wimpy's (opp palika bazar) CP on 12th july 2007
at 6pm.

Subject: [ilugd] Monthly Meet - July 2007
Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2007 00:06:14 +0530

Hi! All,

Just stepping in for Gora, while he gets the whole thing setup. Since 
there is major interest in meeting up with the OSS Camp folks, Karanbir 
Singh and discussing freed.in and since this weekend seems to be too 
short a notice, we decided to combine it with the regular monthly meet. 
July 15th, happens to be the 3rd Sunday of the month which is when we 
hold our normal meeting.

Date: July 15, 2007
Time: 1400 hrs (2:00 PM)
Venue: Bio-Informatics Centre JNU Campus
Proposed Agenda:
1) Meet with OSS Camp folks
2) Con Karanbir Singh to give a tech talk.
3) Kick-off freed.in
4) The usual round of memberships, T-shirt sales, exchange of   
 
CDs, and snakes!

Gora, please confirm send the official annoucement.

Cheers...Kishore

Hi,
  There seems to have been some confusion over OSSCamp vis-a-vis
ILUG-Delhi, and between private planning meetings and a public
meeting. I guess that the bottom line is that OSSCamp, and ILUG-Delhi
share common interests in promoting FOSS, and it would be good to get
together. There is an ILUG-Delhi meeting planned for this Sunday, so
if the OSSCamp people would like to show up, they are more than welcome.

Regards,
Gora

P.S. I hope that I have the right email address for Kinshuk. If not,
 would someone please forward it?

Re: [ilugd] Clarification on weekend meet

2007-07-10 Thread Gora Mohanty
Hi,
  I am not sure what brought this particular diatribe on,
and in a follow-up on the other thread, I have explained
what the motivation behind asking OSS Camp people to attend
the ILUG-Delhi meeting was. To repeat it, it seems like we
share common interests, and as there is an ILUG-Delhi
meeting this Sun., the OSS Camp people are cordially
invited to attend. We would like to hear about your plans,
and brainstorm about how we can work together.

Vivek, I am not quite sure why you see this as an attempt
to somehow hijack your private meeting, or why you seem to
see this as a threat.

Regards,
Gora
