Hello all,

Greetings from the Linux For You magazine team!

As you all know, two months ago we launched a new initiative called CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's question. The best among the responses received are to be published in the August 2006 issue of LFY. We have contacted the chosen respondents off-list.

This month we have chosen the topic: "What does one gain from participating in an open source project that he/she does not gain from a regular work environment?"

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are waiting to listen to your views. Please write to us at writetojanani@gmail.com with a CC to atul.goel@efyindia.com, before 5th August 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the September 2006 issue of Linux for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY
