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. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
