put up (substantiate what you're saying) or shut up; in other words, 
kindly shut up, since I can see no possible way you could manufacture 
any proof that ILUGD is acting in an undemocratic fashion.

And yes, if you'd been present at the meeting you would have known 
that an online discussion and vote about participating in LA was 
considered and rejected since the time frames for making the decision 
were too short.  For $deity's sake, it's been a week since the event 
and we're still discussing whether MS participation is a good thing 
or not -- what makes you think that an online discussion and vote 
with one day to make a decision would have been at all effective?  
That decision was made with the members present and I will stand 
behind that decision until the end -- if you weren't present for 
whatever reason you have no right to whine about it later.

Anupam, I strongly suggest you stick to your points on MS 
participation and leave your views about ILUGD functioning out of the 
discussion since you only seem to be convincing people further and 
further of your stupidity every time you open your mouth on that 
subject.

I don't need to substantiate anything. I never said that ILUGD was
undemocratic. My hypothesis was a very weak one, namely ILUGD could do
with having more openness. Anything in the world could do with more
openness so it is not really something you would oppose. If you
misread between the lines so far as to see allegations of undemocratic
behaviour then it is your warped view of reality, not mine. Now that
we have established that my allegations were not really so, I stand
by whatever I said fully because I did not see a public discussion on
this topic *before* the event. It may have been due to valid reasons
(you say you had only a day to respond, which is a very valid reason)
but the fact remains.

And it is not really relevant but I have been living in Bangalore for
over a year now (and many places elsewhere the year before that). So
it is not really possible for me to be a part of the meetings anymore.
I'm not sure if that fact makes me a lesser member of the ILUGD
community, but I'd appreciate it if more things were kept on the
mailing list.

Anupam Jain wrote:

Being involved with ilugc for almost 3 years now, as both physical 
volunteer and active in mailing list, I just want to add some of our own 
experiences as a LUG.

Every LUG can have two modes of operation which are vital to call it 
alive or dead - Digital and Physical.

Digital activities include Mailing List (which is more or less 
mandatory) and a web site or wiki. Physical activities include monthly 
meets, seminars and workshops, etc.

Considering mailing lists, its pretty much open to discussions. Though 
sometimes it gets personal, most times there are enough people and posts 
for both sides of the coin. But, as far as I have seen, participation in 
mailing list alone doesn't make one take decisions for a LUG. Although 
it is true that all people can not make themselves physically present in 
all the meets, at least they should be know to have attended a few. More 
physical participation you put, more your voices are heard.


Though all issues are posted and discussed in mailing list, mostly 
whenever a concrete decision was required it was always through meets 
and physical participation. Decision making in mailing list has rather 
been ending up in a void state, without a concrete decision been reached 
  mainly due to high volume counter-postings and flame wars.

Sometimes we have had polls, example when we wanted to decide about 
reply-to munging for the mailing list. But, for physical activities it 
has always been through physical participations i.e. meets. Such meets 
are announced prior, those who are interested in decision making 
participate, those who are not in chennai do mail their voices before 
the meeting and the final decision is to the people who attend the 
meeting, mostly the most active 10-20 people of the LUG.

I think, this is not much different from what have been happening in at 
least the other 2 LUGs i mentioned. Though Delhi  LUG may be a 
registered body, still AFAIK follows a similar method where important 
decisions are taken through  meetings and physical voting.

   you are very true on your part that everyone can't make the physical
appearance in the meetings.

   But,  if you consider  yourself  as  a  responsible rather active member

  behind closed doors, however much you may try to twist what everyone
  is saying to suit your own warped view of reality.  I'd suggest you
  put up (substantiate what you're saying) or shut up; in other words,
  kindly shut up, since I can see no possible way you could manufacture
  any proof that ILUGD is acting in an undemocratic fashion.

 I don't need to substantiate anything. I never said that ILUGD was
 undemocratic. My hypothesis was a very weak one, namely ILUGD could do
 with having more openness. Anything in the world could do with more
 openness so it is not really something you would oppose. If you
 misread between the lines so far as to see allegations of undemocratic
 behaviour then it is your warped view of reality, not mine. Now that
 we have established that my allegations were not really so, I stand
 by whatever I said fully because I did not see a public discussion on
 this topic *before* the event. It may have been due to valid reasons
 (you say you had only a day to respond, which is a very valid reason)
 but the fact remains.

 And it is not really relevant but I have been living in Bangalore for
 over a year now (and many places elsewhere the year before that). So
 it is not really possible for me to be a part of the meetings anymore.
 I'm not sure if that fact makes me a lesser member of the ILUGD
 community, but I'd appreciate it if more things were kept on the
 mailing list.

Continue with your illogical and baseless reasonings. This thread
needs to outnumber all existing records. Please contribute as much as
you can because you are not going to accept the obvious. Nice way to
contribute to Free Software Movement.

Look I haven't attended an ILUGD event for ages and yet I was keenly aware
that this was going on for quite some time. There is usually a pretty
large overlap between the folks who turn up for these meetings and the
people who actually end up doing the work during the event, so not having
an online poll of some sort make exactly zero difference. Besides that,
I doubt that anyone's personal right to show up at LA as an ILUGD member
was somehow taken away.

 And it is not really relevant but I have been living in Bangalore for
 over a year now (and many places elsewhere the year before that). So
 it is not really possible for me to be a part of the meetings anymore.

 I'm not sure if that fact makes me a lesser member of the ILUGD
 community, but I'd appreciate it if more things were kept on the
 mailing list.

Since you are not in Delhi, I would assume that the decision for ILUGD
to participate would have had no concrete effect on your being present
to help out. What makes ILUGD different from other LUGs is that it is
based in Delhi. I am sure that the Oslo Linux User Group would welcome
me with open arms if I chose to join their mailing list, but it wouldn't
surprise me if they took it poorly if I felt that I had some sort of
right to dictate their involvement in events in Oslo via online poll.

 Sometimes we have had polls, example when we wanted to decide about
 reply-to munging for the mailing list

that wasnt a poll - it was regular voting, one man one vote and care  
was taken to see that all the voters were active members of the list.  
And it was a vote on list management and not lug management. It is  
interesting to note that though the list had 1500 members, only 67  
votes were polled. This is a very high percentage as most mailing  
lists have a very high percentage of zombies.

  Why are you wasting bandwidth and web space on
 useless discussion.

broadband ka jamana hai... must have a night unlimited plan..

  How about setting an Arena and giving sticks to
 everyone and have a group stick fight. Winner gets a
 XBOX (sorry no Linux based gaming consoles yet)

heard than people got PS2  XBOX running linux.. ofcourse lesser games on it..!
