Fourth International Conference on GPLv3.

[sajith]

From the oh-so-gandiose department.

The Fourth International GPLv3 Conference will be held in Bangalore, on August 23 and 24; this is organized by The Free Software Foundation, FSF India, IIM, Bangalore, and Free Software Users Group, Bangalore. Speakers include bearded guys like RMS and Prof. Eben Moglen.

Stay tuned, here.

Other sources of noise:

• GPLv3 India Conference List
• Free Software Users Group - Bangalore List

Please join the junta if your allegiance is with this side of the fence.

(True, you can't grow beards like those in a month's notice. Do try, however.)

(Darn, so many links. Yes, I linked so you don't have to ask the search engine!)

Thanks for the news. I should be there :)

[sajith.livejournal.com]

True, you definitely should be there. :)

And by the way Emacs is very nice except for a sore left pinky :) I am addicted enough not to go back :)

Yay! :D Let's get our Emacsen blessed by RMS! ;-)

You surely know of EmacsWiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/), don't you?

[knutties.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been using EmacsWiki now and then. Just discovered nxml-mode for writing HTML. Simple awesome. I've already swapped Ctrl and Caps lock. Should write a post on my transition.

[knutties.livejournal.com]

And yeah, we need the blessings. And me a whole lot more to catch up on Emacs.

[sajith.livejournal.com]

The thing about Emacs is that it has something for everyone to learn, from the very beginner to Elisp Gurus.

[knutties.livejournal.com]

Can't agree more. Though I feel stifled without the niftyness of Vi sometimes, I have begun to realize Emacs is well worth the effort.

[sajith.livejournal.com]

Please do. I've been hearing good things of nxml-mode. I've not been doing much XML, but I am curious.

[knutties.livejournal.com]

Neat. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Please do post a reminder when it's near too.

[sajith.livejournal.com]

I hope to do that. Consider joining one of these mailing list also - those are not very high volume. Not at this time at least.

Alright, good idea. Me joining the FSUG bangalore list. Yet another place to lurk:)
