Dear friends, We are working towards building a better ILUG-Cal web-site with more informative contents that will be useful for the members, and help us showcase the Linux Initiative in Calcutta and our state of West Bengal in the proper light. This objective can only be achieved with the co-operation and participation of all of you. For one, I am aware of the spreading usage of Linux among the local corporates. If you have successfully implemented it at someplace and want to tell people that you did it, then write about that. I recall Amlan (yeah, I know you are probably kinda busy now) wanting to write article(s) on something useful. So did Russell....where are you guys?? Malay-da..why don't you write something on the workaround needed to install Oracle on Linux. Arup and JPM, what about that article on Java on Linux (yes, I know you are very busy as well).? Partha-da, you told me your thesis has been submitted....so what about shifting your thoughts from your soundcard and Java, onto that long promised article on Tex and Lyx for the starters.??? Rajat...if you have some nifty tips and trick up your sleeve, like the one about switching between WMs, what about sharing those with others?? Suvendra, Rutvik, Swaps, Ketan, Riddhi...whats up guys?? Come on...we all are in it...give us something to build a great site....if not articles, give some ideas at least... What about newbies talking about their experience?? This is important, I have often seen that getting to know that something peculiar happening to you is not really uncommon, can be a big help often.... we could have a section on our web-site where we can have these, possibly along with responses and hints from the more experienced members...in a sort of FAQ-O-Matic style....what do you all say?? In past, some of you have asked me what you can do to contribute ... now, I'm asking you to come out with your ideas and suggestions as to what can be done. (Note: Please try to be precise in the suggestions you make). I understand that each one of us is busy in our own field or work/study/business, but let us make an extra effort and build something good and useful. Looking towards a great response from the members. Cheers, --Indra. PS. Don't worry about style and writing abilities - there are lots of us who will give you tips and guidance should you need it. Go for it! (Ok! I lifted this line from the linux-india website :) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
