Hi all, I was going through http://wikiwikiweb.de/LugsList and found that only FSUG-Banglore has a gnu.org.in link as such http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/ It is a pity that the pages cannot be updated and we do not even know whom we have to contact to do the needful. In jest, "will the real slim shady please stand up". -- Regards Vikram Vincent +919448810822 http://groups.google.com/group/bangalore_alive/ http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Campaign_to_promote_free_software_in_karnataka

GPLv3 Released

http://www.fsf.org/news/gplv3_launched +----------------------+ | GPLv3 Released | +----------------------+ [0]A GNU Dawn writes "The [1]GPL v3 has just been released. Among other things, the released version grandfathers in the Novell deal so that Microsoft's SLES coupons will undermine their patent threats, replaces references to the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act with more specific language, and clarifies that using BitTorrent to convey a GPLed work is not a breach of the license (it might be one, technically, in GPLv2). The [2]GPL FAQ has been updated to cover the new changes."

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: GPLv3 Information <info-gplv3(a)gplv3.fsf.org> Date: 28-Jun-2007 00:12 Subject: [Info-gplv3] Launch of GNU GPLv3 To: GPLv3 Information <info-gplv3(a)gplv3.fsf.org> On Friday, June 29, at 12 noon (EDT), the Free Software Foundation will officially release the GNU GPL version 3. Please join us in celebration as we bring to a close eighteen months of public outreach and comment, in revision of the world's most popular free software license. Beyond the creation of an improved license, the process of drafting version 3 has helped highlight vital issues for the community of free software users. This is a moment to thank the thousands who participated by commenting on the license, and those that represented stakeholders through the GPLv3 committee process. Now with the release of GPLv3, we will see new defenses extended to free software. These defenses will continue the long history of fighting all efforts to make free software proprietary. Please join us as we stream live footage of Richard Stallman announcing GPLv3 from Noon (EDT) at www.fsf.org. If you are in the Boston area you can also join us at the FSF offices from 11:30am. Please let us know at <info(a)fsf.org> if you would like to attend. -- Peter T.

Encourage new members to join and participate in FSUG-Blr
by Rakesh 'arky' Ambati 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi List, Perhaps some of the active members of the list should encourage new members to join and participate on the FSUG-Blr list. Internet is great tool that can be harnessed to have continued discussions and advocacy along with the activities conducted from time to time. Prof.Eben in his recent talk made an interesting remark about encouraging the more elder (40+) people to use GNU software, this is a very good idea. Not only it generates positive interest but also these people who may be leading institutions, organizations, media persons or policy makers can in turn influence a large portion of population. We have a billion people to reach in India, haven't we? Cheers --arky
