But I shall definitely try to find out some time to do it. In the mean time, it is also important to select cities and groups. Regards Arko

Forming FSUGs in the country
by Arko Provo Mukherjee 13 Apr '03

13 Apr '03

Hello guys, Well, we all know that there are ilugs/iglugs throughout the country. We can start FSUGS(Free Software User Group) in the main cities and invite people to join. They can run parallelly along with the ILUGS/IGLUGS. Many people in the ILUGS don't believe in Free Software philosophy. Thus establishing FSUG in different cities will help us to create user groups supporting free software including GNU/Linux, BSD etc. The coordinators of the mailing lists will be people from FSF=INDIA. That way we can set policies. I think this will also help in strengthening FSF-INDIA and also in spreading FREEDOM MATTERS. We can give URLS to them, like www.fsf.org.in/fsug/cal etc. This will enable us to create country wide user groups under our control. I know that we already have a few FSUGs in the country, like in Chennai. We can invite them to join us. Waiting for comments and suggestions. Regards Arko

Re: ? Is the GPL completely misunderstood?
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

SUCH views only further the ideology of proprietorial software, while confusing the subject and furthering the man-works-for-money-alone idea. It also flies in the face of thousands of excellent programmers chosing the GPL as their licence of choice. Perhaps someone needs to be countering this.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. What about a slashdot sponsered letter writing compaign that gave people a tangible reward for writing a good letter to thier congress(wo)man. They could have everyone write an email about what really matter to them, any topic, preferably a technological one as thats what scores points around here. Then have them mail them to thier representative and CC a copy to contest(a)slashdot.org as well as post it as a comment. Say, 10 highest rated letters win a free subscription (however many page views that is). The cost would be negligable, but the impact of tons of well worded emails coming from intellegent people would have an amazing impact. So, editors, what do YOU think? --btw, the letters should be worded better than this post. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Further to add my two cents Answers sought How to act in a democracy?

Arun Shourie, on FLOSS v.s proprietory
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- URL : http://www.linuxworld.com/2003/0401.indiaopensource.html India IT minister: No government edict on open source IT official says Indian government will not back open source to the exclusion of proprietary software April 1, 2003 Summary The government is a key buyer of information technology in India, and backers of open-source software were hoping that the Indian government would throw its weight behind open source. By John Ribiero, IDG News Service BANGALORE (IDG News Service) -- The Indian government will not back open-source software to the exclusion of proprietary software, according to Arun Shourie, India's minister for information technology and communications. The government is a key buyer of information technology in the country, and backers of open-source software were hoping that the Indian government would throw its weight behind open source. "In India we always like to think in terms of either-or. The formula we want to adopt instead is 'and also,' and encourage all kinds of software development in the country," Shourie told reporters shortly after the formal launch in Bangalore on Tuesday of the PARAM Padma supercomputer, designed by the government-run Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Pune [see "[30]India agency offers build-to-order supercomputer" Dec. 17, 2002]. "If there is an important security software that we need urgently, for example, we are more likely to buy it, than spend time deciding whether we should develop it in India in open source," Shourie added. Earlier in his address to the staff of C-DAC, Shourie said that in cases involving national security, it was wiser for government research agencies and laboratories to develop software in-house. However, Shourie clarified later that the decision to import software, or develop the software entirely in-house in open source or on any other platform, would be taken at the level of the specific government agency on a case-by-case basis. "Do not expect a general decision from government on this," Shourie added. Shourie's statement is the first categorical statement by a senior Indian government official in the debate about whether to adopt open-source or proprietary software. The controversy was sparked in November last year during a visit to India by Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates. During his visit to Delhi, Gates announced that his company planned to invest US$400 million in India over the next three years in a number of areas, including computer literacy and localization of its software products. Gates's announcement was seen by analysts as an attempt to pre-empt the Indian government from making a formal decision to adopt open-source software. Gates announced that in addition to contributing software to schools, Microsoft will also assist in training about 80,000 school teachers and 3.5 million students in government-run schools in India. "This 'gift' is no act of generosity," said Richard Stallman, president of the Boston-based Free Software Foundation. Stallman was also in India in November to drum up support for free software, but found that media and government attention had shifted to Gates's high-profile visit. "Giving Microsoft software to school children is like giving them cigarettes -- it is a way to get them hooked, so that once they grow up, they will be a captive market for Microsoft." Microsoft has tried to win over the Indian government to its Government Source Licensing Program (GSLP), but there have been no takers yet in the government, according to informed sources. The GSLP was designed to give government agencies access to Windows source code to develop applications for their own internal use. Last month, Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc. in Santa Clara, California, also made a pitch to woo Indian universities and researchers by announcing $300 million in free software and training to promote key Sun technologies in India, such as Java and Sun ONE (Open Net Environment). Though the Indian government will not take sides, some government agencies and laboratories are already using open-source software. The National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) in Delhi is assessing the feasibility of using Linux for e-governance projects in India, according to Kiran Karnik, the association's president. "Linux can play an important role in spreading e-governance in India since there would be a need to develop low-cost local language applications," said Karnik. "It can also help in accelerating IT education in schools which today cannot afford high software costs." However, before Linux can be widely deployed, the services and support infrastructure around this platform will have to be developed in the country, according to Karnik. John Ribiero is a Bangalore correspondent for the IDG News Service, a LinuxWorld.com affiliate.
