I just dont want the same presentation to take place over and over again. I had already suggested a way (in form of documents) to be distributed to newbies. If you can come up with a better idea we will except it with all the gratitude.
This is not just a newbies group, there are equal number of members in the group who know what linux is and even several newbies know what GNU/Linux philosophy is. Secondly LL-ji will you point me out how can ilugd would suddenly become newbies friendly by having a presentation on GNU/Linux philosophy and rest of presentaions on securing linux boxes, a topic which will pass over the head of newbies?? If you remember we had already decided to conduct newbies meet again and again at some time interval, so you can't say ilugd is user unfriendly. To accomdate newbies in such a meet you need to give introduction to why and how security, and not on GNU/Linux philosophy!!!!! I belive if Raj speaks on GPG it will be a good introduction on how and why to secure. > > fire and brimstone man! did you know that india has > a population of over > 1 billion people, and yet there are only 9 PCs per > 1,000 people here. > all factors included, that means actual pc users are > just 5% to 10% of > our population. with gnulinux diffusion at probably > 1% to 2%, that means > we are are a tiny droplet in a vast ocean. and we > think we should > further build walls around ourselves and tell the > rest of our brethren > to F.O. ! > > grrrrrr!!! grrr!!! show such numbers to a bean counter not to me.. > > every single day, there will be atleast 10 newbies > to gnulinux born in > this country, and this number should hopefully touch > 100 a day. > sarcastically speaking, i would be quite happy to > see ilug-d shoot > itself in the foot by alienating and brushing off > newbies. and i know > newbies won't speak up on this issue. they are > usually quite terrified > and nervous with the technojargon + flamewars + > netequitte flames that > they usually receive.

See now you are turning away from your own words, this kind of introduction is completely different from he presentation of raj on introduction to gnu/linx philosophy. > > AshLin, don't you agree? > > [flameware ends] [Me hoping so] > > :-( > LL > > > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Archives at: > http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ===== Disclamer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
