Linux will continue its growth in India no matter what. We don't need
NASSCOM. NASSCOM might need us. This kind of situation is not unique to
India. The IEEE, for example, ignored the Linux scene for a long time.
The LUGs flowered and I am willing to bet that the LUG membership is much
larger than IEEE's expensive membership. Besides, I suspect that NASSCOM,
like the IEEE, is a professional organization for lobbying and such. LUGs,
on the other hand, are good support groups.
