Dear Sir, I am writing on behalf of the Linux Counter Project, http://www.linuxcounter.org . I have obtained your name from the Linux Users' Group Worldwide page. The Linux Counter has been working since 1993 to reflect accurately the number of Linux Users worldwide. This is a distribution-independent, non-profit survey. User data is not distributed, and users require to give, at the minimum, only a valid email address, which will not be made public. The counter is hosted in Norway, which has extremely strong privacy protection laws. I am assisting the Counter as a Country Manager, helping maintain the lists. I primarily handle India, however, I am also maintaining, till they have sufficient users, the Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan areas. I would appreciate your asking your LUG members, and other users, to visit http://counter.li.org/enter-person.html , and create/update records. Registration is free, involves no loss of privacy, and is usually a 3 minute process. Do contact me if you, or other members, have clarifications in this regard. Regards Sanjeev Gupta [EMAIL PROTECTED]
