Hello FLOSS!
by Ankit Malik 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hi I just joined in to the FSF mailing list and thought of introducing myself! I am Ankit from New Delhi in 10th Standard as on 1st March 2005 ;-) . I have been interested in Linux since 2 years and wud like to know more abt the underlining philosophy of FLOSS. Plus I wanna stay updated of the happenings @ FSF-India! I dont believe in reinventing the wheel. I also don't like making a new distro or something since there are way too many ;-) Personally I am attached to Ubuntu Linux! and of course all the free/libre and open software which help me in my tasks! I have also written one or two articles. Read them when you wanna feel asleep :D Here >http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/06/1557225&from=rss and i also maintain a blog http://scribbler.tk ! thought you wud be interested although i post only 3-4 times a week usually. I think that is it. [too much i know :D] Looking to hear more on FLOSS events/happenings/philosophy/advocacy Thanks for reading this! _____________________ Ankit Malik http://scribbler.tk

Reading the archives...
by Ankit Malik 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hi I was reading the archives and there were talks of FSF-India Awards to be implemented. So have they been implemented? If yes, can someone point me to the rules for submitting and what is required et al ? Thanks in advance. Another thing is it is possible right now for a CBSE affliated school to stick to FLOSS and still teach all the computers related subjects in 11th and 12th ??? -- _______________________ Ankit Malik http://scribbler.tk

Can my article make it for FS Award Nomination
by Ankit Malik 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I recently wrote an article for LFY and then also gave it to Newsforge with permissions from both the parties.. http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/06/1557225&from=rss Considering its license, is it eligible for an FS Award. [of course winning it is going too far fetched ;-) but can I make it to the eligible list ???] P.S. I regret not releasing it under Creative Commons or LGPL :( but its too late. For future articles, I am with CC ! -- _______________________ Ankit Malik http://scribbler.tk
