---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 13:25:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Marsee Henon marsee@oreilly.com To: basit@basit.yi.org Subject: Newsletter from O'Reilly UG Program, August 5
O'Reilly User Group Program Newsletter August 5, 2002
Without meaning any offence, may I suggest that messages like the one above be forwarded to fsf-dev or fsf-prog, if at all, rather than fsf-friends?
The list information page for fsf-friends states:
This is the principal support list of FSF-India. This is an open list which invites questions, proposals, suggestions, comments and constructive criticisms in aid of the FSF-India's activities, based on its mission, principles and basic decisions.
Surely, an O'Reilly newsletter aimed primarily at developers doesn't qualify for this list.
While on the subject, may I also request that international "news" from the "open source" and "linux" fronts not be posted here but to fsf-discuss instead?
Our List Administrators have taken the trouble of creating and maintaining a range of lists for different purposes. Let us use the appropriate lists instead of sending everything to fsf-friends.
We need to keep fsf-friends focused on advocacy and related activities of FSF-India. In the course of our advocacy we might need to refer fsf-friends to people who don't have a developer's perspective but are simply end users who would like to know more about software freedom without getting confused by technology and terminology. We should make sure that fsf-friends remains friendly for such people too.
