You're welcome to pick up as many pieces for sale as you want, at cost to be determined by the group. Of course, better check out FSF policy on having Linux without the GNU on T's :) We have a fair number of CDs, but I can't remember which ones and how many. At a guess we should have tons of Ubuntu (32-bit, 64-bit and PPC) which you're welcome to take and distribute. Again, check out FSF policy first. May also have Debian 3.1 DVDs and some RH clone. LFY and LA organisers seem to have gone to sleep as usual after expressing interest in involving the community in the event. One word of caution: whatever you mutually decide, put in writing, or at least in e-mail -- differences in perception of what was promised and what actually delivered have led to unnecessary misunderstandings in the past.

Dear members, Can anyone from FSF-India confirm the authorization for coordination to Alolita Sharma? I did not know Amol Hatwar requested for the stall or he got confirmation. He did not seem to have read the mail of confirmation. Does anyone on the lists have any idea about it? BTW we are sure to get the space for the stall at LinuxAsia. Please Advice.

Volunteering for the FSF stall at Linux Asia 2006
by Sayamindu Dasgupta 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi, I'll be happy to volunteer at the FSF India stall at Linux Asia. I'm from Kolkata, but probably, I'm going to Linux Asia as a speaker, so I think I can devote some time for the FSF stall. Thanks, Sayamindu

There have been some discussion going-on on the FSF-Delhi list about what we can put on sale on the FSF stall. There have been a few suggestions.. 1. Selling or giving away GNU/Linux (Debian) CDs or/and DVDs. Experienced members please suggest how many CDs we may need so we can burn them up, any help in burning CDs is appreciated. 2. Selling T-shirts. 3. Selling GNU/books. A good suggestion. C-DAC director asked for GNU/books to us in FOSS.IN and we didn't have them there. 4. Displaying GNU/Linux (Debian), GNU/HURD, GCC and any GNU software that we can put on display. (Any specialists in Blender or other GNU software?) 5. Give away FSF-India and SPACE handouts. 6. Attend visitors, answer their question related to FSF's work. Are there any points where ILUG-D and FSF is overlapping? Are there any areas where we can get help from ILUG-D? (Help is needed in burning some CDs and DVDs) Please revert. -- End -- -- Sameer N. Ingole Blog: http://weblogic.noroot.org/ --- Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

FSF-India in LinuxAsia 2006
by Baishampayan Ghose 13 Jan '06

Hello, I would like to know how far you guys have advanced wrt the FSF-I stall in LinuxAsia 2006. If you haven't got any confirmation so far, better get in touch with the authorities. Also, I'd like to know who are going to volunteer to be there at the stall and what exactly we are going to do there, apart from, of course putting up the posters and all. I think we can print some T'Shirts and other merchandise and sell them there. We can may be also print some manuals / books for sale. Do tell me what you guys think about it. Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose Free Software Foundation of India b.ghose at gnu.org.in
