Dear all,
My sincere apologies for posting the FDP/Workshop Event Report mails in
ILUG-C in the recent times.
Do not understand the apology why ?
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.
Who are they ? what contention's do they have to your actions, the
commercial and non commercial is long lost argument , tell me when we are
talking about sustainable development in every walk of life when you try to
get some mileage out of the name and kind of work you do , i would rather
applaud rather than frown upon.
we as kids are taught to mistrust than to trust someone's actions , unless
there are serious vilolations with proof of specific incidents againts you
i do not think you are causing any harm to the so called ILUC-C community.
Would like to hear from everyone on this list what is your take on this
case ?
As you all are aware that I have been a longtime mem
o
ber 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.
do what you think works , do not get distracted by fence sitters and
people who waste much energy thinking of what could be your motives than
help you with the cause.
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 would encourage this even if it is done , the only thing to watch for is
keeping it transparent in terms of money , share whatever you get with the
volunteers who turn up to help you . You build a community who believe in
your vision and then soon you will not need any support from ILUG-C too :-)
