this domain name was booked by me for other ilug-cal members
to develop a website .. since giving access to the ilug-cal.org
website for altering webpages was not happening

this was conceived as a supporting website for ilug-cal.org

soumyadip modak had volunteered to do the webpage
designing .. didn't happen for reasons he stated at the
meeting on last saturday ..

at the meeting, on his suggestion and as per the discussion
that ensued thereafter, it was felt that ilug-cal.info should
be in limbo for the time being

repeating .. it is NOT an alternative to .. but is a supportive
to ilug-cal.info

there is just no point in forking .. despite ilug-cal.org's
admin calling it a 'new kid on the block'

it is a supporter which is now on the block .. so to say

for the records, it is always available for designing, testing,
firming up alternate designs .. which eventually can be
ftp'd to ilug-cal.org

we will need a host with the necessary php version, and
other CMS support running

russel hosts the .org website pages and WON'T budge
unless the .org  list-admin allows it .. that didn't happen
before ..

with sayamindu unable to devote the needed time for
the updating/rectifying/cleaning up .. and with him
having agreed to let one or two other ilug-cal real
world members take up the task .. and with him
agreeing to give the necessary details to do all this,
there shouldn't be any problem

strife strikes at the very basic idea of FLOSS, GNU,
FSF, whatever the ilug-cal believes in

ego's are important, most important is the tux's ego ..
let's do something to keep that intact by contributing
jointly .. like all the developers of the world do

we cannot afford to create our own universe with
our own narrow points as the basis for its working ..
within the world of open source
