frankly i would be happier if it remained a 'north event'. The  
strength of the foss movement in India is in the regions. There is  
never going to be an all-india foss movement/event. I feel that in  
each region one or more regional events come up focussing on that  
region and getting active participation from that region. The level  
of the event will be lower as there will be more newbies and  
freshers. What is happening now is that all events are 'all india'  
events and we find the same people in each - often making the same  
speech. The biggest crowd of speakers in foss.in, and the other three  
events having subsets of this crowd. (note, this is my personal  
opinion and not that of nrc-foss). So I personally would be happier  
if freedel remained freedel.
