Sajed bhai,
I wonder what BIOS would say about copying bn_BD locale data file (created by a
Bangladeshi and submitted on behalf of bdlug) from glibc package and simply
replacing the contact info by their own and *few comments*; and *indirectly*
(no mention that it is basically a glibc data file) claim it to be their
work? :) And what they would say about doing some copy-paste [read: violating
copyright] from howtos written by a Bangladeshi to create their README file?

I asked them why their discussion/work is not public, and I was told they work
differently from *other* open source projects. Apparently they like phone calls
and face to face discussion.

I'll very happy if you take the time to give your input to Ankur
(http://www.bengalinux.org) project (FBF is part of it) from time to time.
