Yeah... I'll just jump on a bus here in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and get off in Mumbai, India, in front of the university. On second though, maybe I'll just stay where I'm at, and stick to discussing things, since this is, after all, a 'discussion group'. It is worth mentioning that 'Open Source' is not limited to 'Linux OS'... there are a lot of Open Source apps that have been ported to other operating systems... *nix of every flavour, DOS, Windows, Mac, etc. Open Source has to do with a lot more than computer operating systems, in my opinion. It looks to me as if it will wind up being the basis for a workable 'intellectual property rights' model, for the 21st century, and will wind up, in one form or another, wind up replacing the mostly-broken copyright laws that are now in existence, for things like books, movies, music, etc., in addition to binaries that have traditional source code. nb> then only they will come to know about it.... nb> No use with sharing thoughts offline...Let's do some nb> action.... nb> thanks nb> regards....Naresh (Group Moderator - FutureOS_Linux) I went and took a look at your FutureOS_Linux group, and it has been on-line for a year, and only has around 30 messages posted to it. I think you are going about the business of trying to drum up membership in the wrong way... going around to other lists, like this one, and soliciting members, without the list owner's permission. It seems very rude to me...as if you were invited to a party at this person's house, and you went, and then you started telling all the people at the party, 'hey, this is a boring party, come on over to my house everyone, and we will have a better party over there.' If I wanted to attract members from this list, to a list that I was starting up, here is how I would do it. First, I would become an expert at what I was talking about. Then, I would join this list, and I would contribute my knowledge to this list regularly, for at least a year, so that I had a good, solid reputation with the users, as a fellow who knew his business. Then I would ask the list owner if it was Ok for me to post an ad for my new group, assuring him/her, that I was not abandoning this group, but just starting another group of my own, with a more specialised focus, like "LINUX - KERNEL Module Programming", which happens to be the stated focus of your FutureOS_Linux group, and which does not conflict with the focus of a 'Linux_Newbies' group. If I did this, it would take me a year, but my chances of actually building a respectable group would be better than my chances would be if I did what you are doing, and your group has already been up, for a full year. You might want to consider rethinking your strategy. -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ weblog: http://robertcwittig.blogspot.com/ .
