But the revoloution never happened. What happened instead was many kinds of ugly mudslinging and fighting over non-issues, in the mailing list. I thought it to be the initial identity crisis over open source and Linux. But gradually I became cynical of the whole FSF India idea and unsubscribed from the FSF India list. I had had enough. Bleh, FSF India, whats that?
Coming back to my better senses, it looks like I went overboard... it didn't have to be this unpleaseant. I understand that a volunteer-driven non-profit organisation like FSF India could always do with better resources and volunteering, not a rant like this.
I apologize. If anything, it was out of love and respect for the ideals FSF stand for and the unreasonable guy who insisted that software should be free for the better of society and communities could be made out of it, while coding away and sleeping under his MIT office desk. It should be future generations that judge them.
