Hey, Posted a message to the mailing list 2 days back, but for some reason, it didnt reach the mailing list.
Heres the message: Guys, Coming back to topic, Ganessh(FOSS club representative) and I went and met the CS dept HOD who was receptive to this idea. For mail server infrastructure, we went and met the ICTS department, which manages computing infrastructure. They said they will get back to us after reviewing security concerns and feasibility. As far as naming goes, i personally vouch for ilugcbe, but if a majority of contributors from Coimbatore want GLUG, we can review it. Valid arguments for and against GNU/LINUX are given in many websites including wikipedia and gnu's website. However, i am personally neutral. One question from me is that Android is uses linux kernel, but is not GNU. Nor is it 100% free. Are Android users/programmers a part of LUGs? What about Maemo/Meego? Also, I would like to stick to the naming convention we follow and try to make it less complicated to newcomers.
