Oh, you are serious, aren't you. Kenneth was being sarcastic, bro, because Free Software does not need recognition/approval from entities like Gartner[1] to be meaningful. I was not really being sarcastic. Fact is Microsoft has changed it's attitude towards OSS - they tried to kill it and did not succeed. If you can't beat them - join them. They have now decided to take over the OSS movement and corrupt it from within. They have already got a couple of their licenses approved by OSI and are making moves to get on the OSI board. They will have a large presence in OSCON too. We all saw how they bought ISO and got that crap OOXML approved as a standard. It *is* a big deal. Go look at the photos of OSIW to see who all are hobnobbing with M$ in India today. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Gartner says Open source will quietly take over
anybody read the roach-bite at the end of that 'opensource' hero story on microsoft's site? here it is, quoted under fair-user: Get the tools that make these heroes successful. Order your own Hero Hack Pack. Each Pack contains free evaluation editions of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, and the essentials for getting started with open source. Plus, randomly hidden in the Packs are 10 vouchers for free passes to the Open Source Convention (OSCON) this summer. now that's interesting. what's getting bundled here with 'opensource hero pack'? http://www.microsoft.com/opensource/heroes/nimish.mspx regards niyam triviaps: what's a roach-bite? urbandictionary or even a google-search doesn't define it. i read the meaning of this slang in wired magazine almost a decade ago. so, fyi, when an inspired story, film, commentary, or whatever, suddenly ends with a product plug, more specifically when your hero, who could be a cricket-star or an opensource guru or a film-star, has to pick up the product he's pitching: shampoo, drink, potato chips, or whatever, and actually consumes it for nothin' more than all the money he's got to do it, well, that's a roach-bite./trivia -- niyam bhushan ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
