All articles authored by Niyam for LFY are published under a copyleft

Complete Magazine on Open Source', LinuxForYou is also Asia's first
magazine on all things Gnu/Linux and more. Niyam waited for the
inaugural issue of February 2003, before agreeing to wordprocess a
regular column. Initially, he came up with the name 'OpenYug' for the
column. Yug is a sanskrit word in vogue even today, which means 'Era' or
'Age'. According to Indian mysticism, Time is divided into four ages:
SatYug, Dwaparyug, Tretayug, and finally Kalyug. Sat means Truth. Kali
is a terrible goddess in whose age destruction and chaos will rule. A
perfect metaphor for the existing age of computing as well. A dinner
discussion with Richard Stallman convinced him it should be renamed
'FreedomYug'. The column hopes to foster a gestalt change in Indian
computing, and usher in a new age beyond its Kalyug, the age of freedom.
Niyam also has reviews, news, techprimers, published occasionally in the
magazine, and is involved with its prestigious LinuxAsia Expo as well.
