Hi, I've quietly watching some v positive inputs/interactions on the list w.r.t. study materials on Linux/FLOSS. There is a genuine demand for this information specially from the new users.
I suggest we set up a SRG (Study Resource Group), with the purpose to collate and publish information thru our website and periodical postings (say monthly) on our mailing list, about the books/magazines/journals available and/or useful for our purpose. 1. Listing of Books w/brief abstract comments/categorisation (e.g. General/Programming or Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced or short notes on what one needs to know to start chewing the book) 2. As effort as above for online e-books. Can I ask the following members to come forward and volunteer to initiate this effort: 1. Manas K. Laha 2. Rohit Vishal Kumar 3. Siddhartha Basu 4. Rajib Bhattacharya 5. Kaushik Ghosh 6. Partha Pratim Ghosh NOTE: this list is by no means exclusive, others are free to volunteer. The efforts of this group can be eventually augmented by adding on other sources of information available online. For publication on the website, Sayamindu Dasgupta will volunteer to do the needful (Sayam, knowing you I've assumed this) with /me (Indranil Das Gupta) as sdg's backup. If this suggestion sounds OK to you guys, lets get this ball rolling so that in the next 15 days we can have a new & useful segment on our website. cheers, --indra. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
