Hi all:
I have just recieved this message from Thaths (Sudhakar Chandrasekharan), who is the
list admin, as well as one of
founders of LINUX-INDIA (the others being KD ie. K. Dakhsinamurthy and Arun Sharma).
For the benefit of those who have joined us lately. ILUG-Cal is the Calcutta city
chapter of Linux-India. The message
below is important, it brings our attention to the process that has been underway to
official register Linux-India as a
formal organisation.
As one of the city chapter of Linux-india, we have been asked to participate in the
process. We don't have too much time
to ponder on this issue. We have to nominate one representative from our usergroup to
represent us in the Linux-India
formalisation group. Friends, it is now our turn to answer to that call within the
next 48 hour. Please go through the
mail carefully and respond on the list ASAP.
regards,
--indra.

Subject: Registering Linux India
> Hi,
>
> It has been more than 2 years [1] since the Linux India mailing list was
> started. A lot has changed in this time. Several regional Indian Linux
> Users Groups (ILUGs) have sprung up. An issue of Linux Magazine even went
> as far as saying that India was third or fourth, world-wide, in terms of
> number of LUGs!
>
> Linux India has been operating so far as a group of, to borrow a phrase,
> "communicating individuals". The time has come to formalize Linux India as
> some sort of organization. That is why we, the sort of "founding
> communicating individuals" of Linux India are writing to you [2].
>
> Over the coming month we plan to hold a discussion about how Linux India
> can be formalized, what it stands for, and what its interaction with the
> various ILUGs should be. To ensure equal representation and high signal to
> nice ratio we have decided to hold these discussions in a private, closed
> mailing list.
>
> Could each ILUG please discuss this in your mailing lists and nominate ONE
> person who will represent your ILUG in this Linux India formalization
> mailing list. Please email the email address of your ILUG's representative

>
> We would like the mailing list to begin deliberations by Aug 15, a day of

> As for the "founding communicating individuals" - KD has volunteered to
> spearhead the legal efforts to register Linux India. Arun Sharma and
> Thaths will also participate in the discussions. The three of us will,
> generally, abstain from voting on ballots. We will cast our votes in case
> there is a deadlock.
