LibreOffice

If true, LibreOffice would be a nice name, a pretty good hack, a soft answer to corporates who think they can control Free Software and a fine piece of art at work. -- CK Raju

No, it's not kernel only, it deals with the Linux Operating System. And no, it's not a GNU/Linux user group either. We choose to call the OS Linux, and we don't stop people from calling it GNU/Linux on the list or at meetings and events, if they so choose. To clarify in advance, I'm not interested in participating in a discussion on the relative merits/demerits of OS names -- I've already said what I wanted to say on that topic many years ago on this list. Anyway, I have to get back to composing my next e-mail to this list on some issue that I feel strongly about. How does "Indian Free Software Activist Needs Cash to Buy Car to Popularise Software Freedom" sound? I feel really strongly about that one, and I'm sure I can find some friends on this list who would support me (specially the ones who live nearby and hope to hitch rides).

Give money to Free Software Supporter
by Raj Mathur (राज माथुर) 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Raj Mathur is a well-known supporter of software freedom in India. His old Cross pen has reached EOL, and since he's too lazy to go to the authorised Cross repair shop ad get it fixed/replaced, he needs to buy a new one. Cost of a new Cross pen is in the vicinity of Rs 3000. Please donate generously to the cause of Raj Mathur's Cross, with which he will be able to sign more commercial contracts for producing GPL software, thereby increasing the amount of free software in the world and, more specifically, in India. Donations may be made by MO to Raj Mathur. LIMITED TIME OFFER! All donators will receive, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF COST, a GPG-signed thank- you e-mail from RAJ MATHUR HIMSELF! HURRY AND DONATE NOW! OFFER OPEN FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS! -- Raj Mathur raju(a)kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves

Patents and Innovation Density !!
by ck raju 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

"...Patents are the conventional measure of innovation. Despite their various weaknesses, patents represent a systematic, quantitative measure of innovation and are used by economists as the single dominant measure of innovation. But, as with other measures, economists tend to measure them on a per capita basis. *Innovation Density: *Our measure of innovation density is patents per square kilometer. The map below shows the density of innovation based on this measure. The median density of innovation is .008 patents per square kilometer. The densest metros have more than .4 patents per square kilometer, while the least dense have fewer than .001...." http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/09/the-density-of-innovati… ----------------------- Wonder whether the results would have been any different if the investigator had looked at Patents and European-closet density !! -- CK Raju
