I would hate to see it be an *alternative* to linux-delhi.org. Can we please ask both sides to start all over again? So far we have heard arguments from both sides about a) How the sponsor is supposed to have brought down the site unilaterally when their conditions were not met. b) And how the site was announced without taking the sponsor into confidence and without first resolving all the sponsorship issues. None of us in the LUG who were not involved in the exercise can do much about resolving the issue. Please start the discussions all over again, and bury your problems with each other. Raj doesnt seem to have any problem with the sponsor link. He has mentioned that he only had a problem with the way the site was taken offline. If we let bygones be bygones, can Raj point the domain to the previous content again, with a sponsor link this time? And Tarun, can you also cool down :) and continue your fine work. And Vivek, can you please reconsider and work along with the original team and get the site back up again? And Sudev, can Nuchem continue the hosting offer? I see a problem only if any of the above refuses to let bygones be bygones and keeps harping on what happened. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya*Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com *Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

As for sponsoring issue here is the sequence of eventsreconstructed from the emails on creative in my mail box 1) Tarun Dua has volunteered to provide space for creative. 2) Niyam promised to give Tarun credit for providing web space. 3) Tarun said he is giving space to linux delhi and he will have no problems even if his name appears no where at all. 4) Nowhere any sponsor's name was raised. Everyone thought Tarun is giving space on his webserver. 5) I was assigned the task of designing, implementing and maintaning site. 6) When site was almost ready tarun requested to niyam that he wants to put up a footer message specifying who provided hosted space. Niyam promptly agreed and said that he has no problems in giving credit to Tarun in providing hosting space. 7) I asked tarun about the footer message. 8) Tarun sent a footer message which said hosting sponsored by and link to website. When i clicked on the link it turned out to be a website of a compnay which has nothing to do with web hosting and were concerned with linux migration. So i asked tarun to clarify why link to some sponsored site, as i was strictly told to give credit to contributors only and nowhere any sponsor was discussed. 9) Tarun sent no clarification to me or Raj. When i asked him for delay in reply tarun said he will reply to Niyam directly. 10) Niyam told me that he has specified to Tarun that only link to his website will be put up as he had volunteered for the space. If he has any problems then we will move creative to some other server. 11) Niyam gave me a go ahead to announce creative. 12) After i sent emails for announcing creative Tarun suspended the website saying that issue is not resolved. 13) Rest is discussed on mailing list. Now i dont know when did Sudev came into picture. Tarun says he is voluteering for space and he got sponsors. Sudev says his venture is providing webspace and he has ordered Tarun to withdraw the hosting offer. This thing is beyond my comprehension whos server is it btw. Also, if we accept the offer from Sudev/Tarun (dont know who is the real guy behind providing space), we have no control over website (as mentioned by sudev in his last email). This is not acceptable to me atleast. I have said it all and will not be replying to this thread anymore. I am working on redesigning creative with another volunteer who has given webspace. regards VK = Hug the REALITY ;-) Disclamer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
