Hi Abhradip, On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 10:17 AM, Abhradip mukherjee<abhradip(a)freedomnetwork.co.cc> wrote: [snip] > read the full article at > http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html > > -ADM How much ever hard we GNU people argue, it seems that these Linux people won't accept our side. It has been more than a decade now ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy ) and they don't seem to accept prefixing GNU. You know what we GNU people should do ? We should complete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd so that we don't have to fight with these people who insist on omitting GNU. Now, you channelize all your energy for the completion of Hurd rather than arguing with these Linux-ey people. We can then call it whatever we want. That is what winners should do. Oh. btw, 1) Remove your google groups. bcos, you know Google groups is not exactly free software. Oh may be stop using www.google.com at all. They track all our queries and we lose our freedom. 2) Stop using mobile phones. because they are portable surveillance and tracking devices ( http://fsfe.org/projects/gplv3/barcelona-rms-transcript.ca.html#draft2-prev… search for mobile ) Completing Hurd will do more benefit to the cause of free software than arguing about pre-fixing GNU with these linux hackers in a linux distro mailing list. So get started :-) For everyone else, I am communitily(1) closing the two controversial unproductive threads. Please stop responding to the two mail threads as it is just creating noise and doing nothing to help anyone interested in openSUSE. The moment anyone starts a reply, it is gonna start a flame. I sent this mail two days back, and it got bounced. This will be the last mail from me on this thread and I wish everyone make this the last mail on the thread. I don't like single-issue people, nor do I think that people who turn the world into black and white are very nice or ultimately very useful. --- Linus Seconded by --- Sankar okaythxbye -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com All opinions expressed are personal.

[opensuse-marketing] Talks Templates
by Luis Lastra C. 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Salute! ¿Is there any OO impress template? As Ambassadors, in my opinion, we all must have the same template to make our talks. If we are allowed to have one and if the coordinators agree with me, I can make a proposal of it. Best regards. -- Atte. Luis Lastra C.

[opensuse-marketing] GNU/Linux
by Abhradip mukherjee 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi friends, The guiding principles for ambassadors say : "We value... ... the ideals of free software: the freedoms to use, share, study and modify, and share modified versions. We value... the open development process based on the freedoms of free software which fosters peer review, responsible maintainership, individual responsibility and self organization in a collaborative, distributed environment." This support and advocacy of Free Software was the primary cause apart from other things I liked about OpenSUSE that drove me to become an ambassador for it. I appreciate the way ideals of Free Software is being promoted by this OpenSUSE community. This means the community definitely values the philosophy of Free Software and contributions of Free Software Foundation along with the GNU project. But when we support Free Software, we should always stand by our love for Free Software Movement in every way and promote the ideologies as much as we promote OpenSUSE. So, why are we still using "Linux" (in the wiki) instead of calling it "GNU/Linux"? Why are not we acting brave enough to acknowledge contributions by GNU project by just merely calling it GNU/Linux? Ref : http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html Calling OpenSUSE a GNU/Linux system will make Free Software Advocates like me embrace this community with more ease and love. - ADM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] A thought on another means to spread openSUSE...Virtual Spread
by Chuck Payne 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Guys, I haven't seen anyone create and offer a virtual drive for people to down load test drive openSUSE. I am willing to create drives for Parrellel, VirtualBox, and VMWare( for VMPlayer) and share via bitorrent. Maybe if we could do one for Qemu as well. Any thoughts, is this something we can do legally? What I was thinking was about a 2 to 4Gig drive with the live disc install, so that it a light footprint to play with. ---------------------------------------- The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it. -- Franklin P.
