<lawgon> fox2mike: are you in a position to speak on behalf of the proprietor of foss.in?
<fox2mike> lawgon: err?
<lawgon> fox2mike: lawgon: haha, unfounded fears <--- this assurance of yours, will your boss back it up?
<fox2mike> lawgon: I don't have a boss
|<-- grub has left irc.freenode.net ("Leaving")
<--| gja has left #linux-india ("Konversation terminated!")
<lawgon> fox2mike: last i saw you were a member of the foss.in politburo - have you resigned?
<fox2mike> lawgon: heh, I'm not wasting my time or energy answering your senseless questions. Good night.
-->| tuxmaniac (n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac) has joined #linux-india
<lawgon> asked why there is no lug in bangalore and all toolz henchmen vanished
<lawgon> why those clowns come here at all I dont understand
<gamag> lawgon: there is one bangalore lug. isn't it?
<lawgon> gamag: there was a blug - it was killed circa 2004
<jburd> Why was it killed?
<gamag> killed?
<gamag> no blug meetings happen now?
<lawgon> no
<lawgon> atul chitnis is terrified that if there is a strong LUG in bangalore foss.in will be affected
<jburd> Was LinuxBangalore his creation?
<lawgon> jburd - no way
<jburd> At the conference he was talking as if that is true. Hobbes` headed the blug didn't he?
<lawgon> yes
* tuxmaniac goes to #foss.in and calls all the folks from there to #l-i right away! :P
<jburd> Not all that happened at foss.in was about FOSS anyway.
<gamag> Hobbes` - can anyone tell me the real name? i think I'll remember the real name if told
<jburd> It was more talk and less code.
<lawgon> foss.in is a private limited company owned by atul chitnis and his family
<VivekVC> .
<jburd> Barring a few exceptions. Scheduling was shoddy.
<lawgon> kingsly john
<jeevan_ullas> yeah
<gamag> foss.in is a private company? are you serius?
<gamag> i mean is it really registered legally as a private company?
<lawgon> yes
<gamag> it is not a non-profit organization?
<lawgon> no
<gamag> i am in Bangalore but I come from Hyderabad
<VivekVC> hmmm...
<gamag> in Hyderabad twincling is legally a non-profit organization
<gamag> and they hold nice meetings every second saturday, almost without any misses.
<lawgon> and people like fox2mike and gja are so desperate to be recognised that they will shamelessly bow to chitnis without questioning
<VivekVC> lawgon: I guess someone should put this IRC log on a blog or something and also give a chance for the organizers of foss.in to respond.
<lawgon> gamag: same everywhere in the world except in Bangalore
<lawgon> VivekVC: been there done that
<gamag> lawgon: ok. but why are you telling all this here? if this is an old story. you must have got used to it.
<lawgon> gamag: i dont get used to tyrrany
<gamag> lawgon: I mean why this anger now ?
<lawgon> i will keep retelling it until something is done
<lawgon> gamag: this anger has been there from 2004 when the blug was killed
<gamag> lawgon: were you a member of leader of blug?
<--| fox2mike has left #linux-india ("waste of my time")
<gamag> lol
<jeevan_ullas> lol
<VivekVC> lawgon: So you want to promote fossconf over foss.in lol. Kidding of course.
<lawgon> VivekVC: no
<lawgon> fossconf is a community event
<lawgon> foss.in is a proprietary event
<jburd> Ok, that argument has some merit.
<kushal> lawgon, staying ?
<lawgon> kushal: you can stay with me
<gamag> jburd: which argument has some merit? there are so many arguments here.
<jburd> This foss.in was my first. I also helped out. It had a lot to do with branding too.
<gamag> VivekVC: ok.
<jburd> gamag: What lawgon just said.
<gamag> jburd: lawgon> kushal: you can stay with me ?? :-S
<VivekVC> lThis my first major FOSS event too and I went there and helped out as much as i can as a volunteer.
<jeevan_ullas> gamag: lol
<jburd> gamag: That certainly isn't an argument!
