Agreed no big deal there. Sequence was somewhat different and actual announcement should have waited till this was sorted out.

My view of sequence of events left me in no doubt that I was not welcome to participate and at the same time announcement went out without waiting to sort out. > Let me end by stating that you have been an active and professional > member of ILUG-Delhi for many years now; your presence and > contribution at LA2005 (and so many events before that) was extremely > valuable.

Let us put the issue behind in a manner that this sort of thing does not happen in future projects of the community and set out clear cut approaches. To move forward, if the site is already hosted, good. If it still needs a host I am willing with hosting courtesy logo. Since the site will share my company database hosting I will maintain it but am not in position to offer hosting control. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux _______________________________________________ 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]/
