Introduction - Chirag Patel

[Chirag Patel]

Hi friends,

I would like to suggest if we can have a common database file for the
group where an individual can list at the least - name, contact, skill
sets. Either I am impared to creating one such file or I am ignorant
enough, I could not do that myself. So, please, somebody's work shall
be everybody's delight.

BTW, I will be in Amdavad on January 20, 2009 Tuesday, and most part
of January 11, 2009 thru' January 22, 2009 in Vadodara. I will update
you more when I am also informative of any new developments in the
plan. I would like to have a small chit-chat with you all and I do not
have preference for coffee or tea or any insomnic drink, we can have
some. I would like to share my experience with you too (ofcourse, I
will not bluff unsolicitedly).

Take care,
Chirag

I think the above things can be done by including the information in the public profile of google groups.
Also they can be added as the signature as I do.

Hi Pratik,

 

Every person has some ingredients for all, some for some specific like-minded people. That's why I asked. Anyway, no sweat.

 

I am not die hard fan of Linux. I have no reverence for Windows either. These are just basic tools to solve complex problems. Both have different use cases in mind, and I don't mind using either or something wild like home made "rasmalaai". There millions of tools and applications which I refrain from using. I use the most common that my nears/dears use. So, I am on Yahoo IM: "patel.chirag". I am 33, but I assume back seat as I feel like uncle to majority of you when it comes to using computers/technology.

 

My specific interests: 10Gig Ethernet, DDR Infiniband and OFED, FCoE, Enea OSE/Embedded Linux/VxWorks, Visual C++ .net (for my pastime), MySql/PHP. Basically, I cherish HPC (super computers, well, almost), switching (any director class switch), telephony and SAN (storage) coding.

 

Wish you all the best for your exams. I remember first such day (1st sem exams) in year 1993! (For a Gujarati medium student, that was a bit scary beginning to college, but proved otherwise.)

Take care all,

Chirag

BTW,

 

I have some crack in brain which helps me forget things easily. One example: I already have "Take care, Chirag" as part of my signature and I always forget to update. Shall do it ASAP. Till then...

I think we can have a dedicated website of our own where the feature for collaboration and discussion can be many. I am ready to make one for the group and host it on my own. There we can have customize the things as we want as we will be using open source CMS Drupal. What do you people say ?  Let's give tux a home of his own in Gujarat !!

It is a great idea, we can have a wiki page for each member where they
can post stuff about themselves, qualifications, hobbies, other
interesting stuff...

I will ask my company to sponsor some space/domain things for this or
should we use 'free' wiki available..

I had same thinking in my mind, So two years back we have started
http://www.gnulinux.in.
Yes, ofcourse, based on FOSS and hosted by FOSS base company.

We also requires good FOSS writers like Kartik and Mr. Jigish for contribution.

I am ready to share the credentials, Half of the users are Gujarati,
But not from Gujarat :)

Please let me know for any kind of help, Hosting, Designing or End
User Contribution.

Hi All,
 

I have enough space to host it, and it will be for years to come, consider hosting requirement to be satisfied ... just suggest a good domain name. With domain name we can just run our own list rather then depending on the google groups.

Regards,

Samyak

Thanks a lot, Samyak.

But, I will prefer to stay at google groups for mailing list. Managing
own list is pain for mail list admins and many successful lists
operates on google/yahoo groups very well.

Something like ta...@linux-gujarat.org running on http://dadamailproject.com !!!

No probs with it, but you have to work hard to be on top of the some category listing ;p ...LOL ... on a serious note googlegroup is proprietory service and closed source though free. We can't twist the code at will !!!

Kartik, buddy,

I prefer chocolate milk or lassi. Will that be OK? :)

Anyway, I would like to propose that I have my own hosting at
http://rutmandal.info/ and if all agree, I shall cater a place for the
group wiki (or anything else suggested).

Take care,
Chirag
