Anirban Biswas, presumably one of the meeting committee members, wrote thus [please check the spellings at least before you post]: [how come he was involved when the *official* decision was given to Sumeet Moghe is a mystery wrapped in an enigma!]
> Hi , all <snip> > I am telling what happened acctually . <good at last someone at the stand> > The first problem was the estimation of how much member will turn up , as > Indra da said in the last cancled meeting there was about 30 to 40 people sumeet is now asking for a smaller hall. sheer stupidity. if the list members are actually >250 and even 20% turn up then calculate for yourself how many you need to provision for. <snip> > but Mr Ghosh & Anirban Dutta (AD) > completely misunderstand it they though that we are giving seminar even when > we clearly mentioned meeting & also they told that we should allow their > student to attentit else they will not provide the hall & h/w. In fact AD > asked ( or you may say command us ) to have some techno talks like > instaaltion & help him with SAMBA & little bit of programming with PHP so we > made the sechudle that way. what/who in hell's name gave you the permission to short sell the LUG like you did ? sure the LUG should involve itself more in lecture demonstrations/seminars and what have you but this borders on either sheer ignorance or devious greed for meeting space and self gratification. the LUG i believe was never there to be *utilized* by institutions it is a quid pro quo and that is all. understand that and things will be clearer. and if such an ungodly situation was forced down your throats without your consent - why was the mailing list not used to enlighten everyone ? *command us* ?? and pray how/why did you let yourself walk down the garden path ? > We though that the techno part will be over with in 4:30 to 5:00 then we will > discuss our problems (since we told them we will be there till 6:30 ) but > here also they resquested us to leave after 5:30. *we thought* but your listed agenda clearly spells otherwise. own up to your tomfoolery young man. you/the LUG were never in control and that is the sad fallout of the scenario > Also we do not excepted that so much student will trun up in satur day which > also become a problem. come again !! sumeet's mail *warned* of a sizeable student turnout. at an instt of tech what is sizeable to you ? 12 ? and when you had such background information there is no reason to act coy and cute. either you are not telling the truth now or you are as confused as what sidhu said of deep dasgupta > >From our part we told them that it is a LUG meeting & have techno part in it > which can be attened by their studnet but they though it as seminar & so > recducing the time limite caauses all the problems. actually what caused all the problem was you 3 keeping the cards close to your chest and not informing anyone of this. if the time limit was so low, why were the speakers not informed ? clearly this reeks of lack of transparency, self interests and ego boosts. > Also for h/w we got same h/w for COMPASS & if Atul was not here we could not > applied the patch so h/ws also not disccused completely long before we got > the m/cs but at the run time. if you had learnt a lesson from the infamous *glly* scene at COMPASS then i suppose you would have taken precautions given the information that commonly available and highest selling motherboards are of the Intel845GLLY variety. Atul being available saved the day, but the knowledge and expertise he left for us seems to have been under/unutilized - i hope you will agree !! > Also we have to use HIT since no other member able to arrenge alternative > venues since we alway posted what we are doing & so every one know in advance > where the next meeting will. the meeting coordinator/convener arranges for the venue. get this straight. *no other member* is washing your hands off the matter. if you can't stand the heat get off the frying pan. don't go griping like a silly 3 year old. you are mature enough to understand and realize that between the 3 of you, you have made a royal mess. own up, take lessons, and get on with it. whining is going to earn you brickbats. there was no coordination/communication and transparency there was no provision for FSF donation also. so whither now ilug-kolkata ? rajib debnath ps : for the love of god, when you need to send mails check your spellings if not the sentence construction. i believe that is the least you can do. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
