posting emails on the list
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

Another rant on mailing practices ... I would like to request people to _please_ create a *NEW* mail when they want to start an altogether new thread. I just noticed that someone posted a message by replying to an earlier message and changing the subject line. The earlier message had nothing to do with that person's question, which why he deleted the body. But unfortunately, the mail client, dumb as it is, retained the "reference-to" headers which immediately confused my equally dumb mail client into thinking its a message from the same thread. Is it so difficult to just press the "new" or "compose" button to start a new message? Even typing the "to" address ... most clients have ways to automatically complete that field. Why go through the longer process of reply->rewrite subject->rewrite body sequence instead, that screws up all the threading?

Hi Corina...

I saw your posting to LIG, the Linux-India list. Probably there's some misunderstanding on how we operate. This is not a corporate organisation; it's a huge volunteer network. Could you contact the Linuxers mailing list, which has a whole lot of GNU/Linux people in Mumbai active on it? I'm based in Goa, and we have an active network here too. FN ------------------ Dear Sir, I visited your site "linux-india". After reading about Linus, I would like to have more information on its compatibility with Application softwares developed in Oracle or Microsoft products, Accounting packages like Tally 5.4 etc. We are a Housing Finance Comany with our head office at Mumbai, Fort. Tel Nos (22884986 / 22851766). Presently we are using Novell Netware 4.2 as our operating system. We are now thinking of switching over to Windows NT. Since Linux is now becoming more and popular in the IT market, we would like to be guided on whether Linux will be more advantageous to our Company than Windows NT. We would appreciate if you could send one of your Linux partners to meet us at our office and discuss the same. You may send your reply to the following e-mail addresses corporate(a)gichfindia.com rajibmum(a)yahoo.com corina1967(a)rediffmail.com Thanks Corina Rebello Systems Dept GIC HOUSING FINANCE LTD -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick Noronha (FN) | http://www.fredericknoronha.net Freelance Journalist | http://www.bytesforall.org http://goalinks.pitas.com | http://joingoanet.shorturl.com http://linuxinindia.pitas.com | http://www.livejournal.com/users/goalinks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- T: 0091.832.2409490 or 2409783 M: 0 9822 122436 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ILUG-BOM] Fw: [Fsf-friends] Free software.. and software patents (on a CD)
by Nagarjuna G. 20 Jul '03

20 Jul '03

Trevor, this CD can also be part of the library. Can you get in touch with Suraj and arrange for doenloading. Nagarjuna ---------- Forwarded Message ----------- From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" <fred(a)bytesforall.org> To: fsf-friends(a)gnu.org.in Sent: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 14:53:25 +0530 (IST) Subject: [Fsf-friends] Free software.. and software patents (on a CD) --__--__-- Message: 9 Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 11:23:13 +0530 From: Suraj Kumar <suraj(a)symonds.net> To: ilugc <ilugc(a)aero.iitm.ernet.in> Subject: [Ilugc] Free Software speeches on CD I had the opportunity to download all the speeches on 'free software' and 'software patents' from gnu.org. I have cut a CD out of it. Unfortunately this collection does not contain RMS's speech at Chennai (Madras Institute of Technology) made on March 13th, 2002. However its worth noting that most of the speeches carry the same message (the only differences being the humour that he adds to various speeches). Especially the ones titled 'Free Software Movement' have little or no differences. For more information on the list of speeches, please visit: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/audio/audio.html The CD also bundles two of GnuPress published books: 1. Free Software, Free Society - http://www.gnu.org/doc/book13.html 2. Free as in Freedom - http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/ Also included are the web pages from http://gnu.org/philosophy/ and http://gnu.org/licenses/ Interested people can borrow the CD, copy the OGGs onto your disk AND/OR make a CD out of it. All this upon the condition that my CD be returned in a day OR two. (ideally, borrow on a saturday and return on sunday). glitches: I should have put the ogg vorbis decoder (vorbis-tools and ogg123), ogg vorbis plugin for xmms, too in the CD. Maybe someone can come up with an upgraded version of the same CD with windows interop in mind, that would be fantastic! On another note, I have three empty CD-Rs. I would be very much helped if someone can make three gratis copies of the same for my own personal circulation. -Suraj -- +--------------------------------------------<suraj(a)symonds.net>---+ | The chemise lace on the buxom breasts of this belle | | is like the face shield on a rutting tusker | | (love that beauty darts - 7), Thirukkural | +---<http://symonds.net/~suraj/>-----------------------------------+ --__--__-- _______________________________________________ ilugc mailing list ilugc(a)aero.iitm.ernet.in http://www.aero.iitm.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick Noronha (FN) | http://www.fredericknoronha.net Freelance Journalist | http://www.bytesforall.org http://goalinks.pitas.com | http://joingoanet.shorturl.com http://linuxinindia.pitas.com | http://www.livejournal.com/users/goalinks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- T: 0091.832.2409490 or 2409783 M: 0 9822 122436 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Fsf-friends mailing list Fsf-friends(a)mm.gnu.org.in http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-friends ------- End of Forwarded Message ------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nagarjun at hbcse tifr res in. http://www.gnowledge.org/ I support Public Library of Science http://www.plos.org/

RMS Calls On Linux Developers To Replace BitKeeper
by vinayak_hegde＠softhome.net 20 Jul '03

20 Jul '03

Hi, Another example of 'Proprietary s/w turning the screws' An excellent example why s/w needs to be free (free as in freedom and not in price) And this time it hurts where it matters most :( (for the uninitiated Bitkeeper is used for maintaining the Linux Kernel http://www.bitmover.com/bitkeeper/Products.BK_Pro.html) check out the story on slashdot http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/03/07/19/1728240.shtml?tid=185 and read RMS's reply at lkml (Linux Kernel Mailing List) http://lkml.org/archive/2003/7/18/260/index.html Vinayak Hegde Written on my m/c was - "Will work with Windows 2000/XP/NT or better" So I installed GNU/Linux.
