I most of the time see that ILUGC promotes installation, usages etc but never influence people to write / contribute free software. (including myself) One question to all ILUGC members: Out of all the members in ILUGC, how many of them are real contributors in terms of code, testing, manuals to the GNU / LINUX or any Free Software projects etc? Just curious to know. i may be wrong too. - balachandar muruganantham _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
