Invitation to join FSUG-Goa mailgroup
by Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया] فريدريك نورونيا 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, We are writing to you as you are interested in Free Software issues. Some of the issues mentioned below have been discussed informally by some of us, including Frederick Noronha, Vidyadhar Gadgil and Animesh Nerurkar, after there were moderation and ownership changes in ilug-goa(a)yahoogroups.com over the past year or so, which completely reversed the nature of the mailgroup we had become used to and fond of in the period 2000-2008. To get to the point, the only mailgroup in Goa dedicated to free software issues (ilug-goa(a)yahoogroups.com) is de facto oriented towards technical issues only, and discussion on philosophical and political issues is blocked, under one pretext or another. This overly restrictive moderation policy and practice run counter to the principles of Free Software because technical issues are only half the story. The other, more important, part is the philosophy and politics which have guided Free Software. If these are ignored, then Free Software will inevitably become unfree. Also, such an approach creates serious blocks in the process of Free Software popularisation, and restricts all discussion to existing users who have some understanding and experience of technical issues. We increasingly see this approach not only in ilug-goa but in FLOSS groups and meets all over the country, and find it exceedingly disturbing. Whereas we have certain issues with the way ilug-goa is run, there is no inherent conflict between the two groups – in fact, our differences would be similar to those between the Free Software movement and proponents of Open Source software. But we feel the need to create another space where the discussion will not be restricted, and philosophical and political issues will get the importance they deserve. We are therefore setting up a group: fsug-goa(a)yahoogroups.com. This group is an attempt to recover lost space, which has been lost due to an overly restrictive moderation and ownership policy which has been implemented over the past year or so on ilug-goa(a)yahoogroups.com . We (the moderators of FSUG-Goa) will continue to be members of ilug-goa -- if the owners and moderators of that groups permit this, of course. We would like to invite all members of ilug-goa (including its owner and moderators) and other lovers of free software in Goa to join this group too. The moderation policy of this group will be as follows: 1. Abusive posts will not be allowed. 2. Posts should be restricted to Free Software issues, broadly defined. 3. Members' posts will be unmoderated. Only if a poster offends against these rules despite three warnings, (s)he will be placed on moderation. Moderators' decisions on this matter will be taken by a majority decision of the moderators (currently three, as below). 4. We believe in free speech. Other rules, if any, will be evolved only as and when there is an overwhelming opinion that they are needed. Posts will not be blocked, except under exceptional circumstances, as we see this as an attempt to block dissent and discussion. If you would like to join this group, please send a blank mail to fsug-goa-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com. And do pass the message on to other people you feel may be interested. Looking forward to having you as a member of this online community. Regards, Vidyadhar Gadgil, Frederick Noronha, Animesh Nerurkar -- FN +91-9822122436 P +91-832-2409490 Updated: http://goabooks.wordpress.com

It is an event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants. BarCamp Mumbai is in essence a conference without a pre-set agenda. We prefer the term ‘unconference’ actually. A bunch of smart people meet up over the weekend, put up a schedule on a wall and spend the rest of their time taking up sessions and discussions with each other. There is no audience. Only participants. So host a session, help out with planning, ask questions, spread the word- Everybody is invited. There really are no walls – or rules for that matter! You can register your attendance for the event at http://bcm6.eventbrite.com/. If you wish to speak, you can register your topic at http://barcampmumbai.org/register/ Date and Day - Sunday, October 11th, 2009. Venue - S. P.

26 Sep '09

I want to set up some computer-versus-computer chess gamesin linux, so that they can be running all the time and I can watch the computer play chess- preferably, a series of games that go on forever. Most software doesn't allow this but I think there is a linux program which does. Can someone suggest the app that can do this for me? Regards, Deboo

geek directory
by Suhit Kelkar 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

I guess it would be a good idea to start the geek list for the community. So, if anyone wants to list themselves on the ilug-bom wiki as a FOSS resource person, please email me with your contact details. I will take the initiative to put the details up. Any resource persons are welcome, naturally enough. Coders, planners, migration specialists, or anyone a client might want to contract with. Since there are online job fora aplenty, this list should list only freelancers, at least for now. Drop me a line offlist and I'll get started! Anyone else wanting to take part of the responsibility might also want get in touch. Mention in your email to me your full name and any web moniker (Yuvi "Six Shooter" Singh), your telephone numbers and an email address. If you're on chat or IRC, mention that, that's great. Your prospective contacts might like that. Also write a brief paragraph on your work. Just the way you would explain to a client. Simple and to the point language would work best. Also you might mention if you want this brief intro edited for language or not. What name shall we call this e-yellow pages? Regards Suhit Kelkar

geek directory for newbies to the list
by Suhit Kelkar 22 Sep '09

Is there any such thing as a resourceperson list in the Ilug bom? Who to contact for (configuring my linux network to X) (teaching granny y desktop) (migrating my office from swine flu to linux). A kind of e-yellow pages, but specific to Ilug Bom. If there isn't, would admins and domain experts consider getting it started? Regards Suhit Kelkar
