  February 2005 meeting a report

  Posted: February 26th, 2005, 12:51pm GMT

  Tags:    [edit]

  The Free Software User's Group-Kochi meeting was held at the St. Albert's College premises on Sun 20th Feb 2005.
  
  There was no agenda as such for this month's meeting and we had planned a fellowship of GNU heads and Anivar Aravind of CUSAT had agreed to share his experiences at Asia Source.
  
  Though the meeting was scheduled to start at 4.00 PM it started at about 4.30 PM IST (Indian Streachable Time).
  
  Since St Albert's is a known landmark and easily accessible from both North and South Cochin, we were expecting a good turn out. We had about 10 participants which included a couple of new faces which is an encouraging sign.
  
  Our meeting started with general discussions about the Free Software model and Open Source code model and their similarities and scope.
  
  "Free Software is a Social Movement" that aims at empowering the user of the program by inducing in him a curiosity about how the programs work, gives him access to the source code which he can learn and modify according to his tastes and programming skills and release the modifications to the community under the copylefted GNU GPL that ensures that he and the community gets the same benefits that he enjoyed in the first place when he received the GNU GPLed program.
  
  This is a win-win model because it empowers the ordinary user to completely own, learn, modify and release his modified software without being at anybody's mercy to do so. At the same time the whole community benefits by having full access to the source code which the user has modified under the terms of the GNU GPL.
  
  Open Source code Initiative is "merely a business model" where programs whose source codes are available is considered a superior business model over the proprietary model in which one can get one's client to contribute to the open sourced product thus saving precious investment in R&D.
  
  Open Source Initiative views itself as an optimal solution between Free Software and Proprietary software and does not consider it unethical to mix free and non free software if that is required to make the software work.
  
  Anivar gave us his experiences at the Bangalore Asia Source camp (spanning eight days from Jan-Feb 2005).
  
  He spoke about the need to enlighten NGOs about adopting Free Software and Asia Source being a step in the right direction.
  
  According to Anivar, Ubuntu was pretty much the most preffered GNU/Linux distro at the event.
  
  Some interesting topics like Jaromil's mail and his ideological tussles with some proprietary source code advocates at the event also came up for discussion.
  
  We also had an informal session where Jithin and Arun asked a few queries about configuring a dial up modem under Debian GNU/Linux. There were a few queries about how vendors could use GNU/Linux as the de facto operating system and what applications they could offer as a bundle along with it so as to make people continue sticking to Free Software once they agree to try it out in the first place.
  
  Finally it was 6.00 PM and we decided to stop only because the mosquitoes started pestering us ;-)
  
  After the meeting we had an "unofficial" discussion about ways to promote Free Software in colleges and how we should remove the wrong notion that GNU/Linux is a geeks only toy.
  
  Vimal wanted us to help the college authorities by conducting an awareness drive in there in return for the hall that they graciously donated to us. A few events came up for discussion and one of them was an inter-collegiate quiz competition on Free Software.
  
  It was hard to say goodbye but like all good events this one too had to come to an end when Vimal announced "ennal nammuku pireyaam". Dileep was gracious enough to drop me back at Tripunithura :-)
