[IndiChix] Chix wars

[pavithran]

I guess I will be banned from the group , but still I ask why these endless
mails and discussions on a domain name , a admin , a group and  who controls
what !

And someone points that this will scare newbies . I bet they would have
already ran away :(

But neverthless the points made by the people are needed .
The situation arose when domain .org.in domain was renewed by someone who is
a non member of the group .
Hence a discussion on getting the in. domain and the feasiblities .
Someone telling / some one blaming others about a possiblity of fork really
took the whole issue to a different direction with personal attacks which
could have been avoided .

I have seen some good activity by linuxchix such as getting linuxchix
stickers printed and a posters of  all linuxchix. Even the linux chix planet
was some what active .
I suggest :
*Instead of just continuous mails why not go to domain control panel of .
org.in and make it point in. and making in. the permanent domain maintained
by the existing mailing list admin group .
*The most important thing is to go to colleges and industries and get more
girls involved in the FOSS movement and encourage them to contribute .
*Why not organise a competition for linux chix india poster design , logo
design .. the traditional Indian look for a penguin .
*Why not like in fci.wikia.com show a featured contributor in linuxchix
website with some lines of the women who contributed for the FOSS project .

There is lot of scope for linuxchix india . It's better if this domain and
moderator issue be solved soon and get to real tasks.
