Hi,

> Quest 1: What do you mean by this line? Is there any restriction that
other
>>Groups based on GNU/Linux is not able to accommodate peeps?

LUG seems to me a multi cultured domain, meaning people from all walks of
life in OSS world and not simply complied to gnu gpl.
AFAIK, There are people  from BSD community part of Chennai Lug.

>>Quest 2: What is the Goal of LUG that you are currently working with?
>>Can i build an web app using FOSS+ adobe flex platform

IMO, Lug does not endorse any proprietary software, instead i feel as a
lugger it is worth to work for a solution by using FOSS as one of a tool.
LUG allows a developer like me  to present a talk on RoR UI environments,
comparing functionality with Javascript and Adobe flex.
Now talking with regard to  plus points and connections in between both
Javascript and adobe flex.I am not sure , is this permissible under  GLUG?.

>>Quest 3:  As an LUG, Is there no way that we can develop an alternative
for this?

Very constructive thought, if some thing available as good as one software,
as an individual, i will adopt it.

>>Quest 4: Is there any pre-written Statements for LUG stating about getting
shifted from proprietary softwares? or any LUG statements apart from Indian
community?

replied for question no 2, hope it answers this , my personal view though.

One of my question is not answered ! from our Glug friend..
Query1: Is a dual boot way of installing linux is permissible in a GLUG?.

I heard Mr.Siddarth of FSF India Talking on FSF principles in the august lug
meet about Anti Microsoft policy and went on saying "hitting an microsoft
guy".

on the other hand I would love to quote  Linus Torvalds sayings

 "I love seeing people who are really passionate about what they do, and
many people have something they really care about. It’s just that when that
becomes something exclusionary, it often gets ugly. It’s not passion for
something, it becomes passion against something else."

"This is, just to take an example, one of the reasons I try to avoid talking
much about Microsoft - I’m very passionate about Linux (obviously), but
quite frankly, I really find the whole notion of Linux as being “against
Microsoft” to be silly and wrong-headed".


I leave to the wisdom of each individual on which line they need to pursue.

regards,
Thyagarajan Shanmugham
