I will raise an objection again about this being cross-posted
to hell and back. Please note that I am trimming follow-ups
to the groups that I am subscribed to. Are you seriously
expecting people from Delhi, Goa, Kolkata, Kanchi, and wherever
else to drop everything, and rush to ELCOT's rescue? I will ask
again: Did anyone try to contact the (supposedly) active Chennai
LUG before spamming all and sundry?

I again strongly disagree. From the facts described in this
thread (maybe there are more details that we are unaware of),
ELCOT went ahead, and did this without planning, or even trying
to engage anyone in the FOSS community. If that is indeed the
case, I do not see how a volunteer community is responsible for
their mismanagement. From what I see, at best, the Chennai LUG
could decide that this is something worthwhile, and get involved.
If this happens, then further collaborations can grow out of
contacts from within the Chennai LUG.

Sorry for the vehemence, but of late I am seeing all to many cases
of government institutions expecting people to automatically fall
into line with *their* plans.

Regards,
Gora
