Hello Group,
In a way Mr. Thayagarajan is right. Company promotion must be kept out
of pure free software groups. It now called Bootstrap, not Twitter
Bootstrap; its now called Gears not Google Gears.
I have at most respect to him. I knew ILUGC because of him, and because
of ILUGC I am in a job which I enjoy. I wish people would cut through
the glare and see Mr. Thayagarajans commitment to free software. this
cuting through glare is simply absent in many Indian free software
groups. Wonder why? People don't seems to realize unbounded and open
minds are the greatest contributors to free software (or any other art
form). Possibly because people in such groups are emailers and talkers
rather than true contributors who write code.
The next thing is about enforcing rules. We are all Indians. We were
brought up in way where we were told to do this and not that and blah
blah. Its in our blood to think some thing is right and others are
wrong. This sick mentality is truly making many people in this group and
in groups like chennai.rb brand some people as evil. I hope we come out
this rule enforcing thing.
Hope democracy, free speech and art of ignorance which we cynically lack
prevail in ILUGC.
