hello guys can we concentrate on the participation of ilug-cal in compass and go into the fine distinctions, opinions, statements, flames, debates, etc about this open and/or free .. linus and/or rms thing aside from the issue which needs immediate attention .. that being .. how to participate in compass .. they have to make flyers, propoganda material, media releases, brochures for stall bookings and brochures for sponsors information .. there is just no time for so many things to be done in just 60 days
and from the attitude of IT Secy WBGov Mr DP Patra, its gonna be one hell of a serious show .. not the fun and frolic like earlier .. this is gonna be on hell of a serious business .. and WBGov is looking with far too much expectation at compass than even compass envisaged .. i sincerly feel compass will be hard put to deliver the goods meeting even 30% of the 'great expectations' i shudder .. even after having handled ministers for micro fair .. it was fun and expo thing .. this is being taking too seriously .. and i do intend to strain every muscle and utilise all my strength and resources to see that compass can sustain in whatever its planning .. oh ! btw .. just to clarify .. i AM a life member .. and 'accepted' by the exec comm of compass .. just enough to make some little marks on their plans ..pk ----- Original Message ----- From: Kaushik Ghose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2002 10:47 PM Subject: [ilug-cal] free vs opensource, so what's the deal ? > Hi, > I've been going through the definitions of "free software" and > "open source" and have read this page > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/open-source.html > > So since I'm not a lawyer I don't understand the difference between the > two.
