Luggerz, There is an excellent documentary on Linux, available for free download on ftp://ftp.slackware.no/pub/video/The_Code-Linux.avi While some of it is in European Languages other than English, most of it is in English. It features extended interiviews with RMS, Linus, Raymond etc. There is also a 2-3 minute section where Linus talks about Linux and India. All in all, an excellent view, if u have the bandwidth(600MB). Cheers,

You have an codec problem. The AVI has been encoded using DivX encoder. Do you have the DivX codecs installed on your system? I could see the movie perfectly clearly.
The "Free Software Song" is also cool! ;-) http://revolution-os.com/Free_Software_Song_video.mpg
Please use a download manager for retrieving both.

I downloaded it. It's pretty wide, not deep. It does contrast OSS and FSF nicely, in RMS and ESR's own words. I think I'm on the OSS side (FSF is nice, but not particularly practical).
If you're expecting to see code, forget it. Much of it is documentary-style history and political interviews with various people (RMS and ESR come to mind). The infant Linus looks cute.
Flames will be ignored.

I had a look at the threads in their discussion list as far back as 30th Oct and the impression I get is that it is indeed being managed quite professionally. Wishing all the success to Linux Bangalore/2002.
Is it possible to arrange for a Linux "Expo" here instead of a conference? We can have a conference as part of the expo. There are quite a number of companies doing development on Linux and they would be glad to show off their wares. The success, of course, depends a lot on how far the news can be sent and how well we can manage the event. What say folks?

You've got it right! LinuxWorld is exactly what I had in mind. May I suggest that we go along with our initial plan of Workshops. Atleast we should complete the "Migration Series". That way we'll get a lot of recognition with the corporates and later when we approach them with the idea of an Expo, they'll hopefully be more enthusiastic about it.
Seeing the enthusiastic response of the LUG, it seems quite likely that we can pull up with an event of this scale. We can even think of involving LUGs from other places and make this a national event!!

Yeppie. Am shcheduling a talk with sandeep today about getting started with the logistics for the workshops. Will keep you posted on the same.
This is one area that has to be taken up and has to be strategised on. We need inputs from all of you. Initially the plans are to go in for the following....
--> 1 Commercial Workshop --> 1 Workshop for journalists around the country.

This event seems to be setting a different trend....and i am happy with the way it is moving. An action group...will result anyway, if all the 400 odd so decide to take up the mantle..so be it. I am all for delegation of responsibility......not that i want any of our events to be a perview of a few priveleged indivizuals. This is my humble opinion.
pour in. I think lets munge on the idea. And please Trevor... lets be concrete with time-frames.
[snip]
Okie..so lets not waste time on all this frivilous talk of mine...:)).
According to you.....pls go ahead and keep the ideas pouring in dear friend.
Bye for now and have a nice evening.

You will need sponserors. I think IBM and oracle will be big targets, and ofcourse, RedHat. I think ILUG members must be having contacts in these companies.
There are some very good event management companies for such seminars. I know of 2 of them who do such seminars for Microsoft. And they do a very good job of it. Also, a few of the IBM seminars have been well managed. The IBM Developer-works live event was an example (I dont know if any of you attended).

I am game for the idea. Good way to generate some revenue for FSF as well as an excellent way to express our support for free software. Everytime we wear the T-shirt it will be good publicity for GNU/Linux withpout us saying a thing. Wot say??? people.

hi all,
A few of us have got together and run a management consultancy firm. last year i had attended Stallman's talk in IIT and based on that and other stuff we read, we were all gung-ho and went for linux installation in our office network around june this year. Our Networking requirements were simple: 5 computers in a client server config. Since a peer to peer with windows 98 was already in place. estimate of time was one week.
then on its been a nightmare, involving firing one vendor, etc. the current vendor has worked hard, getting all his friends, colleagues, associates etc. to get help - to no avail. the network is still not up and running fully (currently for instance, internal mails are going via the internet and we are dreading an attempt by anyone to set this right becoz it is bound to upset something else thats working fine just now) a.. at least 10-12 vendors have had a go at trying to set the network right. sometimes the problem is samba, sometimes squid, sometimes something else. no single vendor has been able to fix all. each has fixed a small portion, in the process undoing some of what has been done right earlier. b.. Red Hat not only charges a bomb for everything but has also played truant. they are not even available for promised help sessions (have tried with their mumbai and pune offices) c.. On the Harware front too our story was pretty bad. Sun started off by saying their servers are meant only for large corporations and not small offices. however, we found some more helpful people there - who have offered us the cobalt qube server (costing 45k) as a Stand-alone non usable server - hardly a great option. given it poor config its a bad option. d.. For Broadband connectivity, dishnet dsl is constantly telling me that linux will mean that i will have to install a router for broadband instead of a modem, again increasing costs, reducing help if required at any time, etc. Just wanted you people to know some of the ground realities. I started off as a very enthusiastic supporter of Linux, already selling it orally to a lot of people i know. Even did visioning with the vendor initially, to get him to specialise in linux, and offered to help him get clients. However, I now need convincing myself that Linux is all that simple as is made out (talk of seminars where the most uneducated person in computers could install linux, etc. is now sounding incredible to me).
Would be happy to meet anyone who is interested in helping us in the above. Since this forum comprises die-hard linux fans, i thought if no help is available here, probably linux is a bad idea.
ok then, lets see if we can
A US based company irail [see details at www.irail.com ] is seeking to setup their ODC in Mumbai and plan to come down to Mumbai in the first week of December.

Hi.
Your office setup sounds quite interesting, in the sense that you seem to be one of the very few who thought about migrating to Linux in such a big way.
I'm sure you'll find a lot of help from people here ( including me ), if you start discussing your problems in details, PART-BY-PART. Coming over to your place might not be very convenient for many who might be able to help.
Since you've spent this much time in setting it up, some more time to get help over email? :)

Thatz fine. February seems to be a good time to have such an event. But the planning has to start now if we intend to have this on a large scale.
We can learn from the iitians who have just concluded with a small gnu-linux workshop of their own.
You will need sponserors. I think IBM and oracle will be big targets, and ofcourse, RedHat. I think ILUG members must be having contacts in these companies.

We will have to fish out a lot of these. I am sure we will make headway into a lot of them.

Can we afford event management companies.......both in terms of Ethically and Financially. Though i WOULD LUV all our events to be VERY PROFESSIONAL in the way they are conducted.

I mentioned event management companies because most events I have attended had them. Just a thought. I dont even know how much they charge. If we plan to have it managed by a professional company, I could find out.
The advantage would be that there is a strong business support backup. Things like sending out mailers, accepting registrations, collecting cheques and banking them, keeping track of budgets, making sure there are adequate trained personnel at the venue (pretty young girls for registrations, giving out the agenda, cds etc. -- every event has them), coording with the venue owners for seating, arrangements, lighting, OHPs, etc.
If we dont have an event managemnt company doing the above, then we should have enough infrastructure and support system to do that type of work. I think you are talking of workshops and seminars where a large number of people would come over.
(Mind you, I am not saying that volunteers from ILUG cannot do it, what I am saying is that there are hundreds of boring jobs which are to be done and these companies do it all the time, so for them it is child's play)

Well Saswata... it will be great to have an event management company. But do we yet have the plan to get the money in? We must keep our options open.

I think Amol has a valid concern there, but not too big to khatch IITB as a venue. Unlike Mood-I, any other event at IITB will get labeled as a techie event, and we'll have to make sure people don't misunderstand the purpose.

Yes, alright.
But we are going to hightlight the event as mainly an ILUG-Bom Event, with IIT as the venue mentioned in small font or something like that.
Linux and ILUG-Bom will have the largest font sizes, rather than IIT ( "IIT Bombay presents Mood Indigo/Techfest" is the normal sentence you see, but not here ..." )

Would appreciate that peice of info from you SB. It will help us streamline our idea/plans.

Your inputs are welcome indeed. So....since you have been kind enough on taking things forward on those lines could you take the trouble to ge the details from the Event Managers and let us know about the same.
We need to start evaluating all our options starting now Luggers.
If we dont have an event managemnt company doing the above, then we should have enough infrastructure and support system to do that type of work. I think you are talking of workshops and seminars where a large number of people would come over.
[snip]
We will work those modalities out, everything depends on the Resources at hand and the Commercial Backing we are able to garner.
