<div class="gmail_quote">Hi,<br>I think that this is pretty important. Basic
idea is that we organise tutorials in various places <br>jointly under the
banner of IEEE and Free Software Movement - Karnataka and we need
<br>people who are experts in their respective fields to please sign up.<br>
Those who are interested can please contact Senthil whom I have CC'ed in the mail.<br><br></div></blockquote></div></div>I think the best thing we could do is to shape the free software philosophy to present it in the form that ieee guys understand!:)<br>
We should have one paper explaining how the development(/innovation) pathways change with the redefinition of freedoms one could excercise. Why things are bad when we are prohibitting the sharing of information,(more as results of experiments as scientific community is concerned) which was the basis of difference between humans and other animals!. This includes the way IEEE sees the things too.. They are a great international organisation with a great amount of resources locked up inside their digital library! (We all remember stallman echoing not to submit paper with ieee)...<br>
So there is a fundamental conflict of interest between the scientific community we have at the free software continent and the other way which tries to hide everything up for upholding the developer's interest for profit (that to not directly as the reward for the work done,but as the restrictions they impose on the beneficiary!) ..I think this conflcit should be exposed to the max and efficient way possible..<br>
<br>Thank you<br>Shyam K<br><br>
