What is node basically? How can I participate in it as a student?
depends on what you want to do. if you are a programmer, you will get help on doing the coding.
Really? I wonder if I want to be there then. Why would I spend my time helping some guy to code? Unless its a foss project or consultancy? Or do I understand you wrong.
if you are an advocate and want to promote foss (in reality not just talking )
Talking is advocacy and promoting and nothing more than that.
then the node is the best place for you to get support from the available people. it is in short a one stop place for getting help. may be it will be used for glug meets for promoting and discussing gnu/linux. by the way I still can't get the exact time for the meet and where exactly in vjti is it going to be held?
I am sort of lost atm, what exactly are the ideals of NRCFOSS-Mumbai, prolly my fault. But I know what I want to do (and what I believe in) NRCFOSS or no NRCFOSS, Kenneth, Anurag and Mrugesh were there with me when I was at the meeting. Another person on this list, Sankarshan knows that even. Since I have discussed about this people enough about it and prolly have done my bit even somewhere sometime.
So providing my health helps me enough, I will do what I want to do with or without any help. My personal belief and whatever I learnt over last 2 years from lots of people is, it the audience doesn't care for learning more, nothing will work. Thats why I shamelessly support just one guy ( who has never told me more than one thing - I want to learn more, I don't care if there is any incentive involved ) on this list, who has told me not to do so in public, so I refrain from taking his name. But he knows that, the delight I get to see his commits just once a day, is a joy big enough and an accomplishment in itself.
Cheers!
