I don't understand why Mr. McOrmond is getting so fired up. Yeah, rajada is making a valid point, when he writes as follows
>the missing portion of the quoted line is : > >"Of course, this is a hypothetical statement - the >list owner has never indicated >any such intention." > > I will tell you this much. The less trust and >respect people are > > offered, the less they will offer in return. Valid point. But it doesn't hurt to call a spade a spade. To the contrary sycophancy will do more harm than good. >hmm .. good point .. for ALL the respect offered >.. can we have >a web site up and running .. please Please PLEASE >!!! > >fat good does the respect giving do ! > >it takes weeks of requesting for 'delegating' >despite YOUR >saying so .. what is wrong .. enough respect NOT >given ??? > >bullshit .. giving respect didn't work ..

But i do sometimes wonder, is indrada regularly following the postings? I think it's time we met and decided on our next course of action, especially w.r.t. the website, delegation of duty and formalisation as an organisation. >this is great .. your respect for the 'owner' is >like the rock >of gibralter .. good work .. keep that up .. even >if we don't >get our web site .. even if we don't meet .. even >if we don't >take part in book fair/compass .. even if we don't >have seminars/ >workshops, etc .. even if sarai.net guys come all >the way from >delhi and give a demo of LINUX things just 20 >meters from >my house .. just because ilug-cal ..

Maybe, when the list was small, no. of participants severely limited, would the present structure of ilug-cal work. Now we have a number of enthusiastic volunteers. I believe, we should meet somewhere, decide IN favour of registering as a non profit organisation, and have a demarcation of duties to those who are willing to devote some part of their time regularly to activities of the group. And oh yeah maybe the organisation starts paying for the domain name, for which indrada has so graciously paid for us till now. Here's my take on what the lug should become in its effort to achieve its goals: 1) register as an organisation 2) start paying for the domain name. 3) Delegate people for specific jobs for the organisation 4) Start to update the site regularly (u know i was disappointed when i first saw the ilug cal official website, it was a big turnoff) 5) Prepare a schedule for meeting regularly (There is nothing like verbal communication, the nuances and subtle hints which distinguishes a verbal attack from light hearted banter and leg pulling) The fact that the organisation of the lug is formally and legally in one hand (or maybe a small group) is an impediment. It is preventing the planning and implementation of projects. We do need to identify the people in the group who are willing to work for the organisation, and spreading the duties would surely help. We cannot expect a person to be available for the group all the time.
