Hi Guys, Narendra, These thoughts had been passing through my mind for some days-- and I thought that instead of phoning/meeting Narendra and doing a "unicast bore Narendra"; I will do a "Multicast Spam and Bore the whole group" (just kiddingf!!!)
1. I suggest that we have a IIT-LUG meet in coming days. 2. I also suggest that we/Narendra+various other IIT-LUG organizer/volunteer folks decide the venue and date-time of meet atleast 2-3 weeks in advance-- and announce it-- maybe circulate PNG or PDF posters of the meet, which can be printed and put up at various colleges. eg: if oct 17th or 24th weekend meet-- then we should announce right away. 3. Based on a discussion Narendra, I and some more guys had at recent NSIT OSSCamp, we thought it will be great to facilitate file exchanges among participants-- especially ISOs of CDs/DVDs but in general any files that can be legally exchanged. I suggest that even if no wifi; for purpose of Linux DVD/CD sharing--- I suggest we bring wifi routers and ethernet cables-- and also encourage people to bring wifi routers and ethernet cables-- so that everybody can do file-exchanges etc on the fly; by attaching their routers to plug-points-- and copying/transferring files. Also, we can track who all is doing file-exchanges-- and make each one sign a document saying that they are doing at own risk-- and they will not use it for piracy or copyright violations. 4. I suggest apart from talks, we focus on having some demo sessions-- people can bring and demo applications they have built or worked with on Linux-- especially non-web applications 5. I personally would love to see robots; UAVs and other consumer electronic oriented uses of Open Source or even general non-open source consumer electronics built or worked on by LUG-meet participants. 6. We can also maybe set aside 1.5 hours or even 3 hours-- for a movie viewing. Just some thoughts... would love to hear comments, criticisms and rants...
