digressed from the topic again !
and why is this a problem? I haven't seen any contribution from you on any topic in a very long time, so it can't possibly be diluting your experience. In fact, the only thing you've done so far is stated the obvious.
right there is no problem . i have not been contributing. there are stale questions running around the list. isp's, mbd, display cards, there are more of same old policy and foss philosophy questions being raised. i see several veterans of the lug completely silent.
a commercial mail that gets criticized and should end in < 10 goes upto 80+. most discussion lands up to driver cribs and if one can play mp3s or not.
it is also imp to know where do these discussions ultimately lead to . they go completely off the track and fizzle out !
crib about accepting docs in resume for opensrc jobs does not really lead to any conclusion. neitther does the novell controversy lead to any solutions. neither does why ppl dont contribute to oss thread. and many other threads in the past.
this lug is acc to me pretty much reduced to a mailing list. lug meets have dwindled ( thanks to recent meet there is some hope though ) . no knowledge / information is getting channelized into reusable form. do we have answers to that. probably yes. do we want to do something towards it is something probably the list has to answer .
