Crushed by the Wheels of Industry
by Praveen A 21 May '07

21 May '07

Crushed by the Wheels of Industry By Jeremy Allison, Special to ZDNet Being the geek in the family can get you in trouble. I was sat at a social function with my wife's friends, all happily chattering away in Mandarin. I can barely count to ten in the language so meaningful conversation is a little difficult unless it's about arithmetic. I got bored, which is always a dangerous thing. "My daughter has a new computer, would you help set it up ?" asked one of my wife's friends. "I'd love to," I replied. Finally, something to do that I would enjoy! Full Story http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6183476.html Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Fwd: [bms-lug] Minutes of the discussion on "Understanding GPL version 3"
by Praveen A 21 May '07

21 May '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shashank Bharadwaj Date: २००७ मई २० १४:०४ Subject: [bms-lug] Minutes of the discussion on "Understanding GPL version 3" The minutes are posted on the wiki: http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Bangalore/BMSCE/Understanding_GPL_version_3#Minut… If you are lazy to click the link I'll give the information here: First up, of the 18 members registered on the wiki , only 9 turned up!! Well these were some of the things that were discussed, if I have missed something please feel free to add it. Why a third version of GPL is needed. How the GPLv3 will enable us (The Free Software Community) to stop deals like the Novell-Microsoft ones. Saw a video of Eben Moglen speaking on the Microsoft-Novell deal. The importance of GPLv3 in Embedded Systems and in stoping DRM. Briefly talked about the Campaign to promote free software in Karnataka , going to our schools and persuading them to switch to Free Software. Decided that the BMSLUG has done enough of talking and that we'll do some projects on GNU in our holidays in mid-July. -- Regards Shashank --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bms-lug" group.

Hi, Most of you might already know that Eben Moglen will be in India from June 1st to 10th. We might get a chance to have a session here in Bangalore as well. Any suggestions on session topic, venue and date would be nice. I had suggested a session on GPLv3 or a public session like Freeing the Mind: http://moglen.law.columbia.edu/publications/maine-speech.html Let me know your suggestions.
