Since RMS was at a loose end until his flight on the 1st, I'd requested him to give a short talk on software freedom to the MSc computer class at the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi. Given the short notice and the even shorter talk, the attendance was reasonable and the response better. >From my experience, most Free and Open Source Software speakers are quite open to speaking to users and enthusiasts at any time. However, if you want one of them to speak in your city, you'll have to start the planning well in advance since they also tend to have busy schedules. And most important of all, ensure that there are enough people in the audience -- most speakers would prefer to do something else that is more productive than expounding ideas and experiences to a group of, say, 10 people. So if you want RMS speaking in Delhi, get in touch with the local LUGs and FS groups, send him a mail, and organise things according to his schedule. BTW, from what I know, I doubt if he'll be in Delhi again till early next year.
