Hello,
Ubuntu 13.10 will be released on October 17th. So, I was planning of
keeping a release party on Oct. 20 (Sunday). If people here are
interested, we can have a Mumbai LUG meeting at the same time! The
venue will be Directi again but the time is not fixed yet. Any
suggestions for time?
Also, there is currently discussion going on about having the Mumbai
Python user group meetup and the Mumbai JavaScript user group meetup
on the same day at Directi. I thought it would be great to combine all
the events to maximise knowledge sharing. Does anyone have any
objections to this?
Best Regards,
Rigved

A hello to all listas.
The old timers might remember me. ;)
To those who're new (relatively speaking), here's something about me;
I'm one of the old timers, infact, one of the founding members as well
as the guy who created and maintained the first website for ILUG-Bom.
Back then, we had a good agenda, one to spread the usage of Linux across
various institutes and organizations in Bombay as well be a guiding and
helping community for individuals.
Thinking about it, from those days (was it 1997~98), we've come a long
way, and looks like our goals have been achieved. :)
So what's the latest?
What does the group do now-a-days?
Does it still resemble the same old "Gaulish" village I so fondly
remember?
Or has it become an orderly "Roman" system? :)
BTW, it does feel good to be back...
Best,
~Mayuresh

Dear All,
We thought of coming up a good story on the distro release time span.
Our question is 'With many distros going for a six-monthly release
cycle, do you think the release cycles of distros are too short? (And
users don't have to upgrade on a frequent basis?) '
What do you think on this? Would really appreciate if you share your
views elaborately.
Regards,
Priyanka
