Hi dude(s),
its very good u r interested and i agree with the point greatest achievement of this team till now was couple of people saying "ME TOOO"
So some people are interested ...so...so what this team is supposed to do.....i think when i first wrote the mail ......i had in my mind how to create platform so that Corporate can migrate quickly to linux.......but first lets see why corporates are not migrating (in large numbers to linux....even though according to IDC poll 60% of corporates are considering linux)
Lets see what average CIO thinks
1)Who gonna provide me support in middle of night...six month later or year after(support .....Faculty management services is huge responsibility and business)
2)What abt my application running on win32api ....I cant stop using it just like that(we need think abt that)
3)Hi my users ....who consider mouse as extension of their arm ...may become hyper active after seeing Unix like interface (One look kde 3 is enough)
4)Hi my nt administrators ......CLI stuff gives me butter flies (hasn’t heard abt linuxconf and webmin)
5)If this things fails if will loose my job...(Oh no if this succeeds you will save enough money for company to get handsome promotion or incentive and they may decide to postpone your retirement)
we need focus on following usp of linux
1)Lowest TCO
2)Single point administration
3)OS can customized for exact need of customer
so linux migration team will have to do following
1) Customize linux and promote as a product
2)Be ready to provide 24X7 support
3)Consider interoperability with existing proprietary systems
Above can be only possible if we some what of commercial in nature...so idealists i am sorry...and hi what’s wrong with earning bread and butter from linux
I an thinking and working towards Corporate Computing platform based on open source .Basic framework is defined here
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Corpos/files/Opensource.pptPlz give your feedback, suggestions or healthy criticism…..I foresee a healthy discussion.

yeah ok, good idea.
then what ?
First of all, please go and read the mailing list
guidelines. Learn how to live on the internet and talk to people there.
Also, If you are really interested in doing something, why dont u come up
with some ideas and implement them, instead of lines like "i would like
that" and "me too".
LAP started quite some time back and there has been a lot of talk abt it,
but apart from 6-7 people who are actively working on it, not a single
soul turned up for it, i only got mails from people that they are
interested. well, if ur interested, then why the $^%%^ are u in hiding
???? do u expect me to come to ur place and give u an invitation card for
meetings ???
Let me make it very clear, LAP is NOT a curriculum development program.
Its much much more. Its about freedom, about ideas, about choice, about
linux, about help, about the future, and i'd be glad if the efforts of the
seemingly enthusiastic so called "quick reaction team" were channelised
towards this cause. No point in starting a parallel project and resulting
in failure of both.
All those interested in doing all the above, and more, join the LAP team
(http://lap.linux-delhi.org) and for god's sake regsiter yourself there
and DO SOMETHING apart from sitting at home and sending
suggestions. There's a separate mailing list for it. goto the site for
directions on how to join it.
No offenses meant, ;) , and none taken. (where have i read this before??)
And this was meant for all, and not just poor Sudhir. (sorry dude)
regards,
Gami
