Hello Everyone, I am also a member of ILUG-CAL which can go for T-Shirt production to raise fund. FSF-INDIA is a registered organisation. So I think that we can also go for T-Shirt Production to collect fund. We can even add caps to the list. We can put ads on Freedom Matters. We can request to the different LUGS,GLUGS,FSUGS etc to buy them. I think it will be a success. Waiting for comments Arko

This has been on the minds of the demo@schools project (an FSF-I program) to make, what we call, 'freedom gear' and sell it in-order to raise funds. Things like caps, stickers, t-shirts, gunny-bags, etc.,. But owing to the insufficient resources / human capita we aren't able to take this forward.
we would be very glad to join hands with other FSUGs to see this happening.

Even if some company gives FSF India some donation, we can only list them on the home page that so and so is a patron of FSF India. But we cannot accept advt.
Regarding the caps, stickers, t-shirts etc, it will be good if some one takes the responsibility of making them (publishing them). To some extent, or depending on the amount, FSF India can invest on this. So we need a volunteer to take this responsibility.

Hello, Let us watch ILUG-CAL do the job. We can gain lots of ideas from that. Then we can decide whether we can go for it or not. One of the major problems that we have is that, this is an all India group and so meeting is very difficult. Anyway, we have to see how much ILUG-CAL has to spend as initial investment. Regards Arko
