Towards the end of the meeting Shankarshan announced that the first Bengali book entirely on Linux will be available in the market soon. Whats more - it also comes with a CD. Its called LINUX SIKSHA O PROYOG written by Swarup Sengupta. Dipankar da is also writing a book but Swarup has beaten him in the race. The focus of the two books are different. Swarup's books is more at a beginners level and Dipankar da's book will be slightly more technical.
Let me clarify something over here. There was no mention of a *race*.
1. Dipankar-da's book has for long been in soft copy and downloadable from the website.
2. Swarup's book (or rather the first reprint) is what I had in hand.
This is in relation to a mail from dipankar-da asking for a public clarification on this issue.
I have (by a curious turn of fate) been involved with both the books and the respective authors. It is good to see that at last there are books in Bangla getting into print.
Dipankar-da's book has for sometime facing serious issues in getting into print due to lack of funds. Once that has been sorted it will finally and hopefully see the light of the day
