Re: [ilugd] Open Democracy
Hello Everyone, Friends, my sincere gratitude to all of you who provided me their expert views and healthy criticism and from the lively discussion so far I concluded that this infant idea needs more refinements. I'll do more of retrospection in this regard and contact some of the NGOs and may be I'll be able to launch the website within say 6-8 months. I'll definitely post the link here for all of you to review it again. Thanks to all of you for your support and criticism :) With Regards, Neeraj Semwal -- Neeraj Semwal --- Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal - - Pablo Picasso Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal and the Greatest ones make it Open Source - - yeah yeah its by me :P ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[... snip ...] With Regards, > > Neeraj Semwal > > Neeraj, First, I agree with others that we need to keep politics off this list (especially such long rants). Second, IMO it's not the place of one citizen (or many) to "rewrite" the constitution, instead we need to select the right candidates who can do so as representatives of the public. I have started working on a tool/website for helping people make informed choices. If you want to make a difference you can contribute your time to developing that tool. -- Anupam ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Its ugly looking boring site which has not been updated from last 6 years i believe. One day, FOSS will not exist in India, because one day some politician will make take it as revolt and say FOSS is anti-constitutional after having sweets from proprietary software vendors. We will not be able to defend it as it has nothing to do with Linux in India. Afterall we all are techies and not Politicians, leave alone being a responsible citizen of India. -- Regards, Nishant Kashyap ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

You probably need to go to law schools or *vakeel *judges... After setting up the association, they need to sit down and create a draft. Wiki is the best platform but for using the web2.0 based technology (wiki, facebook etc) your age should be 7 year to 35 years. ( because anyone beyond this age limit do not belongs to new age technology and most likely feel pain to adopt these technology). Because most of the professors other thinker do not know much about wiki and all these technologies. just my observation. > So that we all can suggest and create new Laws and make valuable > contribution which can bring our country out of the claws of vote bank > politics and make our Beloved Nation Super Power of the World. > Remember, a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his > Government > > Making new laws does not meant that nation will become progressive.

PS: All you need to find right candidate. Setting up wiki is 2 minute task but wont lead to the success. Just sit and plan first on 'how to proceed' try to contact some political NGOs -- ┌─┐ │Narendra Sisodiya │http://narendrasisodiya.com └─┘ ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
