good info .. tks .. and welcome for info of all other members .. i was discussing the need for a monthly new letter/leaflet/magazine from our lug .. writeups by our members .. we could start with our experiences of our lug at compass 2003 .. all volunteers could write from their personal viewpoint .. and hardcopies could be kept at the meeting on 8th at the meeting venue itself .. attending members could collect .. no sending by post to other members (involves money .. ouch !) ..
the ilug-cal-magazine would be on the site too .. for other members to download/cut&paste/readonline (not recommended) .. or print local hard copy too so here's my contribution : One day in 2002 some members started toying with the idea of taking part in exhibitions. The choices were Compass, Boi Mela, Industrial Fair. Many eDiscussions later Compass2003 participation was under way. At that time, Compass too wanted a Linuxy tilt to its new concept, S/W world. Yayy ! .. and we were ujnder wayy ! Meetings & meetings, discussions & negotiations later ilug-cal was in a place where it could become the star of the show. It did become the star of the show ! Atul from bangalore was drafted in as a speaker for 2 sessions. And he got compass to give him 3 stalls of a combined length of 9 meters and depth of 2 meters. And these were handed over to the local lug. That's us ! And the rest is history. Let other volunteers, now historians, of the participation and the events that unfolded tell more. Lots of stories to tell. One being about how Arvind from Goa was able to catch a train on the day of bandh. End of this contribution to the ilug-cal-mag ! so this should get some V's moving .. write a para, write a page, write a book(let) .. its all ok .. looong articles would be really nice .. can be techie experiences too .. would be spread over more than one issue .. we could include in the ilug-cal-mag the date, time of the next meeting and also the exact address of the venue .. maybe the tech content too (if fixed in time for finalising the magazine) ..pk ----- Original Message ----- From: Subhankar Chatterjee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 2:26 AM Subject: [ilug-cal] India's 1st Linux magazine.. > Hi folks, > > This is my first posting to ilug-cal, so please bear with me if I am > wrong in any way or other. > Well, I have some news, maybe its old but I didn't find anything about > it in the list...so...India's first Linux magazine is out on stalls. > Named "Linux For You", it comes with an introductory price of Rs.50 and > includes a Knoppix 3.1 cd.
