GLT as a process of necessity
GLT, like the book it has produced, was never planned from before. It just happened.
None of us in GLT, till date, is a computer pro. And none of us, did start with
GNU-Linux or any other version of UNIX.
We all were using our computers. We were all working in Windows and getting
frustrated. Hangs Restarts Blue screens of Death and all.
But.
But, that is not all. That the Raptor of Redmond (Cheers Peter Salus for this
excellent tag) will control everything, even our wish to know, was something too
much for us. So we wanted to learn GNU-Linux.
(You can help getting charmed after listening to this speech by
Peter
Salus,
though it may be too big for us dial-up users to download, for them we
have already this and many others downloaded with us in GLT)
But, that was not very easy for us, self-educated (you know, it pains a lot
to call oneself uneducated) savage ones. The point was to show that every
savage is always already an unannounced sage
in its heart, it required to write down a book and learn in the very
process of writing.
How we invited our friends into it
Locally we distributed some leaflets. Both in English and Bangla. The English
one is given here in
html
that you can readily read, but the Bangla one is in
pdf
file. If you are not very accustomed with pdfs, go to the
download
page. There you can know a few things about them.
Here we are citing some documents from GLT:
Why we made the GLT? ——
The unianimous resolution of the first meeting of GLT-Madhyamgram
Who we are? ——
The names of all the GLT members present
GLT way of seeing
To know something more about the GLT mindset you can read one

book is actually the same thing in Bangla, that too in
