Indian Linux User Group Cochin Chapter

Developer Group

Hi all,

It is clear that most members of this group are interested only in the philosophical and social aspect of free software. I noted that one of the previous posts says that software development is less important compared to free software philosophy (I wonder how he came to that conclusion). ILUG is a "user" group and "this List discusses GNU/Linux & GNU, GPL Software" . ILUG is doing a great job in bringing in more free software users. But guys, we need free software developers. How can free software sustain without developers?

So my fellow members, how about starting a sister group for free software developers(ILDG-Cochin: Indian Libre Developer Group - Cochin) where we can discuss free software programming tools platforms and other technical stuff ? This might help attract computer science students too. More free software developers, more free software. More free software, more users and a better world.
Let me know your thoughts about this.

Regards,

Antony S Padayattil

Re: Developer Group

Dear All,

It is interesting to note up to what extent a simple query has extended the discussion...

Please note whether at the end of the discussion does the first post got a valid answer on how to "Practically reaching Linux to the world"? We need to find a solution for that post.

I suggest fix a meet and finalize the philosophical aspects. The coordinator may consolidate the viewpoint of majority opinion. Upload the draft document and in the next meet validate it. There ends the problem.

A member has already posted: "people who code to talk more and people who talk to code more". I am not a developer but support the suggestion to have a separate thread or group for developers. Because serious developers need a dedicated mailing list. It is essential. It is essential to flock the developers.

regards,

Smart Kundassery.
