Hello, On behalf of Free Software Users Group(FSUG), Bangalore and Forum for Science and Development(FSD), I would like to thank all our Volunteers, Participants, and Well-wishers for making the 4th International GPLv3 Conference a success. Any successful activity comes from team work, with no help being small, and the preparation towards this conference exemplified this. So thanking everyone once again. -- Regards Vikram Vincent +919448810822 Bangalore

[Fwd: [Fsf-friends] from Bangalore GPLv3]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Forwarded message attached ... Regards, BG - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Fsf-friends] from Bangalore GPLv3 Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:10:53 +0530 From: Nagarjuna <nagarjun(a)gnowledge.org> To: Principal Support List of FSF-India <fsf-friends(a)mm.gnu.org.in> Many of you attended the fourth GPLv3 Conference held at Bangalore. We thank you for your interest and attending the conference which made it a success. Many of you actively participated in the discussion, which made the event even more interesting and useful. We continued informal discussion till late evening. Many of you opted not to attend the conference. As a registered participant this meant several things for the event. Those who opted not to attend the conference, and did not inform us in advance, actually were squatting on the empty seats in the auditorium. We had only 270 seats in the auditorium. Since the registration was overwhelming, we had to inform the new registrations which were still pouring in, 'to say sorry, we are already full.' So we said registrations are closed. Your gesture of supporting this event by registration actually turned out to be a way of disrupting the event. FSF India, made 300 bags for each registered participant, we also made 300 pieces of specially embroidered 'kurta' which were on sale at Rs. 250/-. We expected this way we could make up for the expenses. We had ordered for more food, and tea. You could understand how your action of opting out of the conference added a lot of discomfort to the organizers who were working hard for the last several days. We apologize on behalf of the foundation for those who were denied registrations, and could not attend. Thankfully, the volunteers at IIMB and FSF India made efforts to record the event. You will all get to hear and, most likely, see the proceedings of the event. If you had come, the event would have been more successful. In the events to come, please give us more substantial support. Thanking you Nagarjuna G. Chairman, FSF India. - -- Baishampayan Ghose <b.ghose(a)gnu.org> The GNU Project http://www.gnu.org/ 1024D/86361B74 BB2C E244 15AD 05C5 523A 90E7 4249 3494 8636 1B74 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE7batQkk0lIY2G3QRAprmAKCCfx/uO0nGOoCQh34srp8SM1GgawCeOVfM c4EwdeaFhGrqmf4MTm+jTjM= =7zcY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Recording the conference?
by Ciaran O'Riordan 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Is the conference being officially recorded? If not, then it would be a good idea to ask members of the audience to record it. I recorded RMS's speeches in Brussels and at the 2nd international GPLv3 conference by using the video function of my digital camera. The video quality was bad, but the sound was good enough that I was able to transcribe the recordings: http://www.ifso.ie/documents/rms-gplv3-2006-02-25.html http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/fisl-rms-transcript.en.html If the conference is recorded, I would like to volunteer to do some transcription. -- Ciarán O'Riordan __________________ \ http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3 http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ _________ \ GPLv3 and other work supported by http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/weblog \ Fellowship: http://www.fsfe.org

Distribution of GPLv3 Draft 2
by Baishampayan Ghose 20 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, IMO it'd be great if we can give copies of the GNU GPLv3 Draft 2 to all the conference attendees. I am not sure how many people will have read the draft in advance so it'd be nice for them to have a copy of the draft which will be discussed all throughout the days. This will also help them in understanding the topic as well as encouraging debates/discussion. We can print the `Rationale' document for our purpose which explains the draft pretty nicely. I have recompiled the LaTeX source to fit on A4 papers which we use in India. The PDF document can be downloaded from -- http://people.ubuntu-in.org/~ghoseb/gpl3-dd1to2-markup-rationale.pdf I am sure it will help a lot of people.
