My dear Pradeep,
Please accept my apolodies. My intention was just to bring to your notice that many of us who you may consider Wikipedians and not FOSS are also FOSS guys. This is just a small issue which I did not want to snowball. Please dont quit from the list. Your hard work speaks for you. My apologies if I have hurt you unintendedly.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

hi,
Since I am creating noise on the list, I apologise and resign from the list. Hope the signal levels go back up. If there is no article on OSM, please WP:BEBOLD and create one. Wikipedian vocabulary is not limited by the content of Wikimedia projects but rather by day to day usage.
Again, apologies. I am sorry to see this mailing list also getting as divided as things are in the OSM.
warm regards, Pradeep User:Prad2609 Handheld.

hi Anivar,
Wikipedians like us call it the Open Source Movement. Since, we're all on the Wikipedia list, the acronym is acceptable. We don't have to adjust for the FOSS guys and be specific. Please understand and adjust.
Pradep, I pointed it because that acronym created confusion in this list Sudhavana understood OSM as Open street Maps, in the same way as i understood. I feel your mail is adding further noise to thread
Just feel that your email was not needed. I know you had good intentions and I'm assuming WP:AGF.
en:wp does not have a page on Open source Movement It is FSM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_movement
