Both wiki.fossnepal.org & www.fossnepal.org are hosted in US with the help of MPP I believe for foss nepal activities. That's not important to us as a fossian however. What is important to us is how foss-nepal can improve and generate more users in Nepal. Lot of foss users have also thought about Nepal's economy in the long term and I believe by localizing and using a distribution that is 1) Easy to use 2) Free (both as in monetary value and freedom) 3) Community oriented, the economy of Nepal will be richer, more technical (maybe?), may bring education to villages and lots more. It could also possibly offer a lot in future to the rest of the world who still uses that propretery, $3/$150 closed source, always-BSOD'ing, device-driver failing shite called http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno (Sorry couldn't help it even after I said to myself that I wouldn't continue) So yup, this is inline with their vision of releasing a localized version and cool Gnu/Linux distro called Nepalinux (www.nepalinux.org) To understand foss nepal's goal, you have to understand FOSS and have atleast a simple understanding of community oriented mindset (or a hacker ego. either will do ;). If you can't make it to foss meetings, let people who organize it know. It's all volunteer, community run group based in Nepal and for nepal's fossians. And also by no chance anyone will force you to attend or do things that you don't approve of or don't like to do. Hope that clears a bit of understanding regarding what foss is and why I as someone who is outside Nepal try to do as much in my capacity to help out bring foss nepal awareness in Nepal.
