Hi,
We have been trying migrate the mailing list to lists.fsci.in for sometime but due to technical issues encountered with mailman 2 to mailman 3, we had to wait. Finally with help from Akshay S Dinesh, we fixed the issue.
So if you see this message, please reply so we can confirm the move to new server is successful.
Now you can go to https://lists.fsci.in to see the archives and even post directly from the web. Mailman 3 has much proved web interface.
Thanks also to Siddharth, Abhijith, Abhinav, Bady, Akhil, Anurag and probably more people who made this possible.
Thanks
Praveen
order of proximity from the Centre while alighting: Kurla terminus,
Dadar terminus, Bombay Central and CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus or
VT (Victoria Terminus), farthest being CST. From each of the stations
you may follow the instructions given below to reach the Centre.
* If you alight at CST/VT, buy a ticket to Mankhurd board the trains
marked M, VA, BR, KD or PL. The journey time is approximately 55
minutes. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east
side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus
Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your
left.
* If you alight at Dadar, you may directly take a taxi to
Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. The taxi fare will be about
Rs.120/-. It is not advisable to take the suburban train in the evening
after 3pm, specially on a working day. If you wish to come by the
suburban train, buy a ticket to Mankhurd, take a train for Kurla
station, and then switch over to harbour line train on platform number 7
to reach Mankhurd. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on
the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti
Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE
to your left.
* If you alight at Kurla, you may take an auto-rikshaw (three
wheeler) to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. Auto fare will be
about Rs.30/-. If you wish to come by the local train buy a ticket to
Mankhurd and board harbour line train on platform number 7. After
alighting at the Mankhurd station, get out of the station on the east
side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) for Anushakti Nagar Bus
Terminus. Soon after the first right turn, before reaching the bus
terminus, you will see HBCSE to your left.
* If you alight at Bombay Central, you may take a taxi to Anushakti
nagar bus terminus. Taxi fare will be about Rs.150/-. A cheaper option
would be to take a suburban train to Bandra, and then take an
auto-rikshaw to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Auto fare from Bandra will
be about Rs.60/-. From Bandra you can also board BEST bus, route number
371 directly to the bus terminus.
If you have any problems in reaching HBCSE please call the centre,
asking for help.

You may have read about this already.
Sharing the news as FYI for those using CentOS as an RHEL compatible OS.
IBM/RHEL has changed the strategy for CentOS support (software) with
CentOS 8 (EOL 2021-12-31);
CentOS 7 support will not change till it's EOL in 2024-06-24 [1].
The gist of it. CentOS 8 will become "upstream" for RHEL and no
longer be based on RHEL source RPMs; break binary compatibility.
Read more here >> https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/
Many enterprises adopted CentOS because of it's binary compatibility
with RHEL and 3rd party software solutions.
Small companies, developers, and even big enterprises who are using
CentOS will have to rethink their Linux OS roadmap.
Here is an ArsTechnica article with alternates for RHEL compatibility.
