Re: hello

okay,
         i am going to take your word for it. Fsf == >> linux;
Anyway i have come up with an intresting bit of idea. I want to get up
an indian version of phrack ready and a defcon-like conference in
india. To get there isnt that hard if we have volunteers. Now the
reason i am posting this here is that ;

1)its not going to be another -security-conference-in-banglore- stuff
so we need really knowledgable team to come out with a phrack phile.
2)linuxusergroups and FSF/GNU groups have been the most "informal" and
"knowledge" sharing community in india. You people collaborate and
even have a say in the formulation of regional IT policies. good job.

Now i hope i am able to convey the meaning of this new venture; you
must read "phrack.org" *not* "yahoogroups"
"defcon.org"  *not*   "another-security-conference-in-banglore"

thank you; expecting your replies and collaboration.
joel.
