Agreed. But I was talking of doing this regularly in the meetings. I have attended 2-3 meetings, and I yes people do discuss software. But, no one gives a presenatation, i.e. some research work and then present ideas.
Well, may be in latest meetings. Basically plenty of people have talked in past and I have seen it. It is a fact that we are facing shortage of people who can talk and help others.
Many people use help but most cannot/do not offer it back very actively. I would greatly appreciate if you volunteer for couple of lectures..
Please note that there is no entry criteria. If you think you have something to talk about, you are welcome. Absolutely anything related to free software is to be talked here..
There are many things that are not there in those CD's. I am talking of distributing the software, its latest version, rpms/binaries for major distros and more importantly the documentation. Eg. Gaim. With new versions every three weeks, I would be glad to have a new copy.
We can not distribute updates. There are far too many of them, far too scattered and if we can not manage the distro. itself, managing updates is even more futile.
Getting your own broadband is only answer if you want to stay on top of everything.
I know this is not what you are looking for but this is fact. Personally, I rely upon distro. CDs and given up updating anything but point to point releases.
However amount of work we are facing here is rather
high compared to available CD burning capacity.
You need to be responsible to receiving the masters
and delivering the copies on time. PLUG greatly appreciates your help..
I do have writer, I will talk to Sudhanwa in the next meeting.
You don't have to wait till the meeting. Drop him a mail offlist or I am sure he will jump on the thread..;-)
