Dear All, Please do not reply here. I am sending this mail using putting all 23 email ids in BCC field. Lets not spam inbox and convert into debate.. Please discuss on mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug
Please discuss oon mailing list. We are not duplicating OSSCamp effort.. that can be continued... We are trying to build a better platform for discussion and participation... Let me tell you again, Please do not discuss or associate osscamp with the current meetup and distract us. @Kinshuk - you have given your feedback, we would like to hear from other too. You can mail me personally at my email id. Thanks a lot for your participation.

I really appreciate presence of everyone and sorry that you were unable to get anything out of it. mail ad discuss what can be improved in this meetup and do not try again and again to push OSScamp agenda. Nobody will like this. silence of other people does not meant agreement. Let me tell you again, Do not discuss, OSSCamp here, Discuss about what can be improved and give feedback Or read again what Satya has replied to you. also you went outside 2 times and not attended even 1 hour constantly. > > I stayed out almost all the while and left early too.

Do not use "What you are trying to achieve," I am not the one who is gaining anything out of it. I told 200 times to discuss the purpose of FOSS meeup and purpose of CCing . Our discussion will trun into flamewars and spam all 21 people in CC list. > > Why arent the disparate groups coming together.
