Dear all,
My sincere apologies for posting the FDP/Workshop Event Report mails in
ILUG-C in the recent times.
As I came to know through Mr.Shrinivasan, the members of the ILUG-C
community were against the term 'on behalf of ILUG-C' used in my posts.
As you all are aware that I have been a longtime member of this community
actively promoting FOSS in academics since 2003. Apart from any commercial
activities, I spend much of my time in promoting FOSS in colleges through
FDP/Workshops.
Our list has more than 3000 members as of now and we have more members from
academic who is also watching this list. These members contact me directly
requesting for Workshop/FDPs to conduct in their colleges (instead of
posting them to list). Nearly 80% of my programs which I have done so far
in colleges are also unpaid and I don't take any advantage of promoting my
business activity through my programs (all colleges knows this truth very
well).
I am more involved in bringing the knowledge sharing culture through FOSS
within the academic community. I do (and mainly) promote the community
activities in all my programs and thought nothing wrong in using the term
'on
behalf of ILUG-C' in my post.
As I understand that many of the members sees my posting as a commercial
activitiy promoting my company instead of a community activity.
Once again my sincere apology for my all posts made in ILUG-C (related to
FDP/Workshop events) and I would keep continue posting them in my own group
'linuxpert' in Freelists for those who wish to know/read them. They are
archived at

Regards
S. Baskar
