CD of Distros at IT Kerala FSF Pavilion
by N S Srikanth 03 Aug '02

03 Aug '02

Hi, Visited FSF Pavilion at IT Kerala 2002. Though the pavilion is manned by knowledgeable personnel, I did not get to have the distro burned at the Stall as was suggested in one of the earlier mails. Will it be arranged in the remaining two days at least? N S Srikanth Trivandrum -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn from other's mistakes.

May I suggest not using "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" together!! Use one of them, but not both in a single article, that too in consequtive sentences. It is a bit confusing for newbies who are already confused about the whole thing! Thanks Ramakrishnan

Philippines/Malaysia Open Source Hubs (fwd)
by Frederick Noronha 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

Extracts from a note by Bala Pillai <bala(a)tamil.net> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Tamil Ants/Erumbugale, The most interactive open source/Linux community in our time zone/Asia springs out of the Philippines. Primarily because the Filipino psyche is a more secure psyche, a more self-confident pyche. Folks who are self-confident worry about the future less, and allocate more time diagnosing and solving problems rather than echoing and reechoing it. Filipinos are also more into sharing and online sharing - we should look to more symbiosis with them. Manila-based Miguel Paraz whom I have interacted with since 1996, is a key catalyst in the Filipino Linux community. http://www.q-linux.com is a good starting point to get a feel for the key Open Source catalysts in the Philippines. KL,Malaysia-based Dinesh who runs http://www.alphaque.com is another lead Open Source catalyst in our tmiezone. Do look for symbiosis opportunities there too.... I see lots of room for us to symbiosis together. For example, there is likely to be areas where we diagnosing, documenting, analysing, coding or publicising where there is over-duplication. If we coordinated ourselves and found out where our circles and priorities intersect , we could share this work and get fruits out faster. For your consideration. cheers../bala Bala Pillai <bala(a)tamil.net> Founder, Thamil Innaiyam (since 1995) http://www.tamil.net Founder, Malaysia.Net (since 1995) http://www.malaysia.net Founder, The Asia Pacific Internet Company (since 1995) http://www.apic.net Towards Wired Ants Mindhood: Click on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal Sydney, Australia Phone: + 61 2 9498 4852 Yahoo Instant Messenger: bala2pillai

Now its time for Forbes to take notice

The capitalist tool 'Forbes Magazine' has produced quality "Linux special" report. Details are at http://www.forbes.com/2002/07/16/linuxintro.html That's an astounding piece of journalism as it would help quell the fear of the 'market' with such fair and positive remarks about Linux.
