BUZZ Alert from Dr Ekbal http://www.google.com/buzz/ekbalb/NV8uRvyGoFd/The-delegates-who-are-participating-in-the The delegates who are participating in the National Conference on Free Software being held at Bangaluru met and after discussion formed the Free Software Movement of India a coalition of the organisations and movements working to popularise Free Software. Mr. Joseph Thomas was elected as the President and Mr. Kiran Chandra from AP as the secretary of FSMI. T My Response - നല്ല തമാശ . ഇന്ത്യയിലെ മിക്ക സ്വതന്ത്ര സോഫ്റ്റ്വെയര് കമ്മ്യൂണിറ്റികളും ഡെവലപ്പര്മാരും വിട്ടുനില്ക്കുന്ന കോണ്ഫറന്സില് വച്ച് ഇന്ത്യന് സ്വതന്ത്ര സോഫ്റ്റ്വെയര് പ്രസ്ഥാനം രൂപീകരിച്ചു എന്നൊക്കെ പറയുന്നതുകേട്ടു ചിരിക്കതിരിക്കാന് കഴിയുന്നില്ല. Free Software Movement in India have a distributed nature. Please dont hijack that name to form a CPIM organ. Kiran Chandra already proved that he cant do anything other than being loyal to his Party and Novell . Happy to Know that Joseph Thomas from ATPS become eligible for the CPIM Free Software movement president position through his creative involvements to own/destroy Govt FOSS projects in kerala. ---------- Yesterday some media friends in Bangalore asked me why i am not participating in National Conference on Free Software I replied as below No.I am not participating due to following Reasons 1. Busy Personal schedule . My marriage is on march end and little busy with the arrangements 2. I am sad to see Novell as a sponsor again in National Conference on Free Software[1]. It seems Kiran Chandra and Team didn't studied anything from the community response[2][3] on Kochi Conference . More than that Now they have given Panel slots for the Sponsors including Novell. But it is good that they atleast published it on the website unlike last year. It gives us an option for opting out from it . [1] Novell is in the sponsors list of National Free Software Conference http://www.nc2010.fsmk.org/content/sponsors-supporters [2] Chargesheet against novell we issued in Kochi National Conference http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/fci/images/0/00/Boycottnovell.pdf [3] Statement From SMC last year http://wiki.smc.org.in/StatementOnNCFS2008Kochi -- "[It is not] possible to distinguish between 'numerical' and 'nonnumerical' algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from other kinds of precise information." - Donald Knuth -- Hiran Venugopalan IRC : HFactor | Phone : 09496346709 | W : http://hiran.in -- "Freedom is the only law".
