I disagree with your statement. i use free software at work and at home. you cannot judge one's spirit on the mailing list. i have never refused people who are coming forward to contribute. people who came to me just gave suggestions and left. they are not in a position to sit and work. most of the time, they dont want to do what needs to be done. they want to do what they like to do. i have refused only those people. It is common in free software development that you aim for some thing. if some one comes with different aim, would you accept that? > If you develop in a proprietary > manner, the site will be unsafe and frequently hacked. lol. i am using Drupal which is FOSS using by NASA and other big shots. do you think it will be unsafe / frequently hacked? > Ilugc is one of the > biggest and best LUGs in the world and you have no right to spoil our name > like this. what do you mean by our name? i am part of ChennaiLUG and i am continued to be part of. > Every one will laugh at us for putting up a half baked site in > production.

For everyone who are laughing at me, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi<http://www.saidwhat.co.uk/quotes/favourite/mahatma_gandhi> how can you say that i have no right? i have every right to do the design. i have informed about site status now and then. sure. i will start a thread and ask for opinions. > I do not consider your site the official site of > ilugc, and I strongly object to your misusing the group name in this > manner.

FYI, i am not misusing the group name by putting anything wrong in it. go check the website content first before telling anything. what do you mean by true FOSS manner? can you explain?
