Well, yes there needs to be a tech session/discussion in the meetings, no doubt, but it shouldnt make the meeting a "techy class" as someone mentioned earlier on the list. If education is a goal then it should be sought with a dedicated effort and over a period of consecutive days, say 4 days/a week/a fortnight/ a month.Such classes could be charged for, and if need be, conducted with the help of other organisations with the relevant skills. The "Linux in a Teaspoon" effort is an apt example of this kind of an effort. http://algolog.tripod.com/teaspoon.htm http://algolog.tripod.com/dawn/science4.htm
The live demos of what should be shown in the meet should be such that people could get started and get interested enough to learn the rest of the stuff by themselves, thru exploration and consultation. That's what Linux and FLOSS is all about, I would guess. BTW Anirban, u could do well to read about top-posting and snipping off portions of the mail that u feel are'nt relevant to ur post. http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/gey_stv0.htm http://web.presby.edu/~nnqadmin/nnq/nquote.html /Sumeet -- ___________________________________________________________ This message was brought to you by Linux, the free unix.
