software freedom at the time India is debating privacy, data policy in the digital space
by GN 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

All the recent threats to digital netigens are arising due to ignoring the visionary warnings RMS gave us several decades ago. Whether it is a threat to privacy, or the dangers of cloud computing. The 'open source' vision though may have spread the development of technology, it failed miserably in adhering to the ethical and political dimensions of the movement. I think it is relevant to discuss such issues and awaken the community to why we still need to address the issues of software freedom. RMS will be in India during early 2019. Would any of you be interested in coordinating with me to check for a good venue and to find a host in the first week of January. The date will be around 7th of Jan, + or - one day. -- GN

August Meet Summery
by Milind Oka 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

The meeting started exactly at 3 pm.In the beginning, speaker Sooraj Dhanuka explained the terms Blue Ocean and Red Ocean. Most of the attendees were not aware of these terms. "Blue ocean" is a slang term for the uncontested market space for an unknown industry or innovation. Blue oceans are sectors associated with high potential profits.In an established industry, companies compete with each other for every piece of available market share. The competition is often so intense that some firms cannot sustain themselves. This type of industry describes a red ocean, representing saturated market share bloodied by competition. Sooraj then gave lot of examples of how the Blue oceans gradually became Red. Later, he gave examples of FOSS related blue oceans and the opportunities for startups. He descirbed his own experience when he tried to explore those sectors.It was an interesting speech, especially for students who could take some inspiration from Sooraj. In the next session we had lot of discussion on various activities that ILUG-BOM would like to initiate. The team asked new participants about what they really expect from ILUG meets. It was then decided to conduct sessions for Students, Teachers and Computer Novices on basic skills like - using Linux,using Libre Office, creating Word Press Websites etc.
