Dear Arun,
We had a discussion in fsug meeting on the minstry meeting in bangalore . What are the orgnaisations involved. What are the plans.
Can representatives from our team join which will help the intrests of free software in karnataka.
do you mean from FSUG or some other team?
Since many of us from Karnataka are involved in the Movement and from different banners it would not be appropriate to call ourselves FSUG. A collective banner representing the Movement in Karnataka will be worked out.
What is your problem with Free software user group bangalore? You were an active volunteer of FSUG for past 2+ years. You were the contact person in a lot of FSUG Press releases. And you represented FSUG in a lot of College seminars. You were Organising a FSUG's Joint Programme with Christ & RV college (RMS Programmes in Christ). so what is the issue now that makes you to say the above quote? Is it some critiques on FSUG's work? or is it some ideological differences? Please Clarify? I Believe FSUG is still open for anybody to point their issues. It is the way online collectives work
Also I believe Movement for Free Software in Karnataka was a temporary banner setup to address the campaign against VTU-M$ Curriculum tieup . It was came up suddenly as a out put of gnus grazing (i couldn't able to participate in it, and there was no discussion on the list about timings or venue to ensure participation of all) . As we supporting any Free Software cause we all supported it and participated in it. But I have serious critique on making it as a permanent banner. Movement in Karnataka need to be created by various users groups and Organisations works on gass root. They can come together on issues affecting Free Software community. But If some one starts to differentiate himself from a group and starting to represent as a leader of an appex group, It really shows the problem. This will not lead us anywhere
