Hello All,

Greetings from the LINUX For You magazine team!

As you all know, we run a section called 'Opinions' in LFY where we
pose a question to the community and industry and publish the
responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks
to all those who responded to the last month's question. The best
among the responses received have been published in the December 2006
issue of LFY.

The forthcoming issue of LFY would carry a story on the following:

Is the war really against Microsoft?

The article would focus on whether OSS world is actually fighting
against proprietary software at an ideological level. Or is it that it
remains a battle against Microsoft? We would like to focus at the
various levels on which this antagonism between the open source
evangelists and believers on proprietary software shapes up. Is the
discontentment against Microsoft only to the extent of patent issues?
Or that Microsoft is just a mere player, while the FOSS community is
fighting at the much higher level of psychology...

We value your suggestions and comments. So, any idea you would like to
share with us is most welcome.

Please write to us at sujata.banerjee@... with a CC to
atul@..., before 10th November,2006.

The best responses would be published in the Jan 2007 issue of LFY.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Sujata Banerjee, Editorial Coordinator, LFY
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY
