Forwarding to LIH to reach a wider audience. Thaths -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [LIG] [NON-COMMERCIAL] Reporter required Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 12:04:20 +0530 (IST) From: Atul Chitnis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Linux India General <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All: Linux.com had appointed a reporter for India last year. The duties were supposed to be to report on all happenings on the Indian Linux scenario and especially the iLUGs. Unfortunately, no reports have been forthcoming from that side, so Linux.COM has asked me whether there is anyone else who could act as the official Linux.COM reporter. Some preconditions to make such a person acceptable to both Linux India and Linux.com: 1. Should be actively involved with Linux. 2. Should be actively involved with activities of Linux India. 3. Must be willing to interact with all the iLUGs across India. 4. Should have good command over the English language 5. Should be willing to spend some time every week to put together a report for Linux.com 6. Should be unbiased and non-political - this is a responsible reporter position, *not* an ideology advocate or "other-OS" basher position. "Masala" writers need not apply. 7. Previous writing experience would be nice. The pay is in US Dollars, and is based on India's contribution to modern mathematics - $0. ;-) The only real payoff is that you would be doing something to help spread the word about Linux in India around the globe. To sweeten (??? ;-) the deal - the same person will automatically be responsible for the upcoming news section of linux-india.org. If you are interested, give a private e-mail holler, including URLs to sample reports/articles you may have written (if available).
