Thank you everyone for the encouraging words and the love and blessings that you all have showered upon us (I think I speak for Sumeet here too ... right Sumeet?). Speaking on a personal note, during my association with ILUG-CAL, I have come to understand a lot about not only GNU/Linux but also the community as a whole - the open collaborative efforts and the unselfish help that members of the Linux User Groups, or, on a wider perspective, the Open Source Community deliver to fellow users is really praiseworthy and like no other community I know of. I feel pride to tell everyone that I am a member of ILUG-CAL - undoubtedly one of the most active LUGs in India. Lately I have been very much caught up in things like university matters and travel arrangements. So I had little time to contribute much to the list, but still made it a point to regularly attend the monthly meetings keeping aside everything else. I have received much help from many of you on the list, either actively, or learning from other's mistakes. Although I am going away, but I won't let distance be a barrier to my involvement with ILUG-CAL. I can only say that I won't be missing the list, but the list members at every month's meeting, for at least the next 15 months. I take this chance to say goodbye to all of you on the mailing list, although for a short time - about four weeks. Though I will be on the list, but won't be active anyway (I'll be checking the mails regularly). I'll be leaving next week for "greener pastures" -- literally! (read Scotland). P.S.: And yes, Sankarshan-da -- I *definitely will* submit that article on file systems in Linux, albeit it will take some time. Bye!
