Hello All,<br>
<br>
As we all have seen the header "This List discusses GNU/Linux &
GNU, GPL Software"<br>
This is what applies to the ILUG Cochin Mailing List as far I can think.<br>
<br>
- We may discuss Free Software/ Open Source Software, Libre Fonts,
Media, Documentation etc.<br>
- We may discuss on using Free Software on Non Free Platforms. <br>
<br>
As seen from the discussion, a discussion on a proprietary application
sneaked into<br>
the thread, while discussing on using a Libre Font. I guess the only
option is to<br>
send a private email and keep such discussions out of the list, or to
start a separate <br>
thread which may discuss these, as the importance lies in spreading the
information<br>
about Swathanthra Software, but not at the cost of promoting or
propagating Proprietary<br>
Software.<br>
<br>
Thank You<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Sameer Mohamed Thahir<br>

<div>Hello Bobinson,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Take it easy, and if it my fault, I apologize.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My first question was regarding an opensource application -
Firefox.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My explanation on installation - The fonts mentioned are GPL
GNU / Public domain.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I agree the OS I mentioned is not opensourse, but I remember
the group discussing lot of opensource apps problems on a closed source
OS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I do not think the discussion gone totally offtopic.
Afterall we were helping people who can't read unicode fonts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[offtopic]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And on a diff topic, we know each other too :) </div>

to say that Photoshop is the most user friendly product out there in

time, my idea about about a Libre / Freedom oriented group is
discussions about freedom and liberty and not otherwise. At the same
time Dinkar's discussion was about adding little bit freedom to an OS
which is otherwise not free. Its my duty as a list member to cross
check whether non-free discussions are allowed here - especially when I
am not 100% aware of the list rules.<br>
<br>
@Devadas OT - it seems we have met once. Few years back and I am still
using the Debian distro you gave me :-) though not sure.<br>

<br>

<br>
Dinkar,<br>

Bobinson, "why so serious" :) lol<br>
<br>
Why should we go soooooo strict in the list ?<br>
<br>
If we keep on discussing things like installing Debian in text mode or
configuring a router, firewall and stuff, why not something simple that
is useful for the common man ?<br>
<br>
The discussion started because I had a tough time reading unicode
websites in Firefox. I searched for months and checked various links
before posting in this mailing list.<br>
<br>
I found there are people who are having same issue, and that is how
'Safari' came to the the discussion, not intentional.<br>
<br>
The fonts I referred -<br>
<br>
Meera - is a GNU GPL font and<br>
<br>
AnjaliOldLipi - is the only public domain font available for Malayalam<br>
<br>
So it is not a big crime I guess ?<br>
<br>
Anyway, leaving it to Sameer :)<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
Din.
