Thank you Susmith, thank you Siddharth. "Blank media and return envelop" idea is good. We can make a decision if we make us available for a meeting in near future at fedora-india irc. A long gap when we do not arrange a meeting. And I also have some topic to discuss regarding some fedora training program at schools. I have already started some initiative regarding this but I like to discuss the matter with other Indian ambassadors. So please fix up a date for a meeting so that we can made it more prominent.
