Re: Re:

Goba, Divyank, Bhavin & My other good friends; This is Christudas, Owner & Chairman of Christudas Software Labs.[CSL]. I wish to end all these arguments here itself as it seems like no unision is felt & people are reaching nowhere. Goba & Bhavin seems to recognise the need for a mirror managed by another Indian Company. But i Don't think Divyank agrees to this. This is a stage for open discussions where we fulfill a greater concern -> Development of great Software & Support for the same in whichever way possible by people capable of doing so. This is not a stage as Goba put it, to demonstrate or satisfy Strength or Ego of hosting companies. As my dear Friend, Pankaj put it : our offer is always open : a 4Mbps pipe with a 300GB Monthly data transfer capability. In case php.net or any other worthy Software Development initiative feels the need of infrastructure, We'd be glad to help. Pankaj was right when he said that this work doesn't profit us in any way, it's just a measure of Giving back to the community Some of the many Blessings that you have received. Let us Know the outcome of your Mutual Discussion. Warm Regards, A. Christudas Philipose.
