Hi,
Is there anyone from TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) on this list and do you guys know of a TCS LUG?
When I was recruited into TCS I was told that there's a Linux User Group in TCS as well. But I couldn't find anything through the TCS employee portal. My search has been even more difficult since I work in client office.
Apologies to all others on list but I couldn't even find much of a mention on the internet and saw this as a last resort.
Regards,

The logical thing would be to ask the guy who told you so :-)

Why? In fact its a good opportunity for you to find others who think like you do :-) Moreover having GLUGS/LUGS(i'm trying to be as politically correct as possible here) :D in corporates is something VERY good for the community and the corporate.
If you find there is currently no GLUG/LUG in your company, start one :-)

The interview happened last year, so I don't remember her name :)

I'd love to but there's little access to company resources when on-site. All I get is the essentials -- timesheets, documentation, knowledge center, etc.
Also, looks like there's few (none?) active 'big corporate' employees (the self appraised tech-cream) on this list, mostly students and independent businessmen. That's quite sad :(

i guess the only real resources you would need it bandwidth(with no restriction on the mailing list) and a decent amount of tea/coffee which nearly all companies give. The rest is just interaction between the people.

how big :-)

there are some of us working in corporates. In fact there are a couple of people on the list from where i consult/work(Cleartrip), you've given me some inspiration to start something there :-)
That's quite sad :(
It so happens to many that once the plunge is taken into a full time job, people tend to look at (GLUG/LUG)'s as a waste of time. They kind of forget that its still one of the coolest places to interact with some VERY interesting people. Also, many a time reading the good old linuxer's mail's is the most fun part of the day :-) really, especially the humorous comments and even the occasional flame war :-)
Lets see if something can be done at Cleartrip :-)

It's quite sad that once we get into our cubicles (I did last year) everything outside is lost and the only IT advances that we see is that which is done by our company. Linux for many is only on servers for example. For me at least, the list and other resources (Slashdot for e.g.) give a welcome release from the frog-in-the-well view.
And yes, some flamewars are fun ;)

Define big. My employer is one of the bigger email hosting firms out there (Yahoo!, Hotmail and AOL are the only ones bigger). If you mean big as in number of employees, we are fairly small.
The most "FOSS" friendly big Indian company I know of is Infosys at the monment.

rediff or outblaze?

wipro contributes to the Linux Testing Project.. not sure of tcs/pcs. We (at netmagic, yup vihaan is a customer) are quite FOSS friendly though definitely not big in terms of bodycount.

I guess popular is probably more apt. Again, popular in the Indian market, like Wipro, TCS, Infy, etc.

I'm actually not very sure about TCS's approach towards FOSS. I'm not in a position to be sure as I have access only to a very small part of the resource pool that it provides. I wouldn't stick my neck out and say they're friendly/unfriendly towards FOSS since in comparison to Infy (or for that matter anyone) they're very media-shy. Only now are they actually coming out into the open especially since the IPO.
Regards, Siddhesh PS: Vihan, it's file since there's no point just putting my name into TLUG :)
Sometime Today, DB cobbled together some glyphs to say:

Like how much have they contributed?

They have been pushing commits to NetBSD, according to Mahindra.

I am from TCS Mumbai. I have not heard about TCS LUG.

In which client office are you working? I am also in client office. My contact number is 9820578852.

You can contact me so that we can talk on this.

Well Siddhesh, i guess you are definitely not alone :-) Two people starting something always ends up with interesting results - Watson and Krick, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Laurel and Hardy(that was a joke :-))
Anyway i guess now you have a starting point :-) let us wish TGLUG/TLUG godspeed !

Yes. Lets hope we can get somewhere from here :) I'll have to confirm first whether a TLUG/TGLUG exists at all. I actually got a couple of responses off-list as well, so hopefully we can get something together :)

Well,
if [ -f (TLUG/TGLUG) ]; then touch (TLUG/TGLUG) else cat "Siddhesh" >> (TLUG/TGLUG) fi
If you are a REAL RADICAL then :
if [ -f (TLUG/TGLUG) ] ; then touch (TINT) fi
where : TINT Is Not a TLUG/TGLUG ;-)

UUOC :P
That means Useless Use Of Cat :P
echo "Siddhesh" is more efficient than cat "Siddhesh" ;)
Another, very common, example of UUOC is:
cat file | grep word

Actually, since 'cat' & 'echo' do two different things, you really can't say that. 'cat' assumes that "Siddhesh" is a file. 'echo' doesn't.

True :-)
Anyway i guess we ought to let Siddhesh decide if he wants to be a string or a file, and i shall modify my code accordingly. O.K with you Mrugesh? :-)
