Re: java on ubuntu

 

Dear Knut

 I think its better not to contribute any way any thing to the discussion
and only listen rather than
using such a low profile words on a standard open source international
mailing list like 'dhis2-dev' .
its my humble request from India..people should not use freely such a pretty
very low profile words like 'bloody' etc on this list. We are not expecting
such thing here on this standard list. People should follow some kind of
discipline while writing anything on this list. Any way, i will glad to
contribute soon some thing very good to DHIS2 as a developer that users will
like most according to my real experience while working with DHIS2 in their
offshore development center, new Delhi as well as in about 4 years of DHIS2
field implementation extraction. Unfortunately, these days little bit busy
in development of real expert system for some nuclear power plant project.

Any way thanks for your wonderful suggestion regarding posting which is not
so easy to digest..
:)

Regards,
Brajesh.
