JFTR, the 'you' above is impersonal and not a "show me the code" and
thanks for helping out with the wiki.  That said, here is the link for
the first initiative which is todays flosscomm.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the CMP is the first step and
maybe in future towards a Membership Criteria (individual and
Organisation) as suggested by Anivar.
Then, http://lists.fosscom.in/pipermail/network-fosscom.in/2009-May/000090.html
In particular point #0 after the CMP is defined and the fosscomm
community decides to becomes a legal entity.

I understand the importance of having meetings and more offline
meetings in every Indian city and online discussions, or rants on
lists/blogs, etc..  but its been many months since Bangalore in
February and the second Delhi meet in July.  So what next? How does
YAML transcend this stage?

capture what on the wiki? Kenneth had already sent a mail to the list
for discussion :
http://lists.fosscom.in/pipermail/network-fosscom.in/2009-June/000296.html
and so did Nagarjuna yesterday. Not everyone has a wiki account and
discussions on the list are far easier than checking out revision
history on a wiki -- tiresome at times.

as others have mentioned earlier, there are many many local ILUG and
fsf-lists, to name a few. What is unnamed about those lists and what
aspect of floss discussion do they not encourage? Can you be specific.

As for university committees, some Univ's promote IP. Where does that
leave them with respect to fosscomm -- they  may not want to be a part
of this if we take a hard-line stance on everything.
