Hi,
I think some of these are fairly arbitrary ...

- *OGG : *You are only allowed to use Ogg music/video for demo. Any
video with .mp4 Or other format will disqualify your selection.
This should possibly be revised to allow for any Open media format[1].
- *GNU/Linux : *You are allowed to carry Any Laptop with Any Operating
System over it But you can only plug your laptop to projector if you have
GNU/Linux OS over it. If you do not carry such laptop then you can ask
organiser to arrange one for you.
Again too restrictive. There are plenty of FOSS Operating Systems out there
besides GNU/Linux.
- *Copyright Policy : *Every Speakers are advised to make a account on
main FOSSDevConf Server. They must submit their presentation Or videos
before the timeline. However your presentation will be made public during
workshop. All your presentations and other stuff will be licensed under
"CC-By-SA" Or public domain. You have to choose either of two license.
It's ok to mandate a license (as an organizer) but you might want to include a
few more Open content licenses, like for instance:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Content_Licenses
- *For Organiser*
- *Video Recording : *You must provide video recording for all
speaker. All Video Recording must be uploaded to our common
server using Ogg
format
- *Images : *All the Images must be uploaded to our common server
using PNG format.
See above comment on multimedia formats.
- *Free Lunch* : You must provide free lunch and evening snacks to
all.
- *No-Coke : *You must not use Cocacola during workshop.
I think this is random. What have these things got to do with FOSS ?
- *T-Shirt* : You must provide TShirt to all audience.
Same as above.
- Tshirt may or may not contain all sponsors but it should not
highlight a particular sponsors in misleading ways
Too general. What do you mean by highlighting ? Also, to take a step back, why
is this restriction there in the first place ? If for example FSF-India becomes
the largest sponsor for an event, I would think it fair for them to have the
largest logo on the event tshirt. I think you might want to distinguish between
'rules' and 'guidelines'.
- The Design of Tshirt must be uploaded in SVG/PNG format using
CC-By-SA license.
See above comment on content licenses.
- *Gift to Speaker : *You must provide gifts to speakers.
Random. See comment on rules Vs guidelines.

cheers,
