21 Mar '10

hi all we have made some stickers related to free softwares , click on this link to see the image http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/index.php/Image:Fsf-stickers.jpeg details of the stickers ------ the image was designed with A4 size the quality of sticker sheet is too good, the printed sheet is of 105 GSM( another quality is of 50 -60 gsm) and has dual side gum with extra high quality paste which makes the job of removing stickers a bit hard. all the logos / images that you are able to see are with edge cutting where they are just ready to lift smoothly and paste wherever u like ( already the images are cut to border exactly and pasted on a glossy sheet ) the cost of sticker sheets ------ there are of two qualities : the one which is of a bit low in quality (thickness )compared to the high quality one (105 gsm ) are getting ready by wednesday and i have 50 sheets ( 25 are of matty finish and another 25 are glossy ) i have 100 sheets which are of high quality ( thickness of 105 gsm ) -- ( 50 , matty and 50, glossy) it costed Rs 45 per sheet for the low quality ones and Rs 92.5 per sheet for the high quality sheets I am selling these sheets at Rs 75 and Rs 150 per sheet ( I am raising funds for FSF- India , will be giving receipts ) if you are interested to donate more you could do so.. if you do normal printing in any digital printing centre ( for first A3 sheet print they will charge Rs 30 , and following sheets costs Rs 10,12,14, depending upon the relationship u have with that company( usualyy it is Rs 14 per A3 sheet, but the sheets that they give will not be of good quality and also they will not do any edge cutting ) the life of those normal sticker sheets is very less, the printing will fade of whenever you rub any object over the surface , even a small scratch will fade the printing there are so many varieties of qualities available with stickers , we are also making the doomed stickers which costs Rs 5 per sq inch and stickers of type "intel inside "( will upload details later ) i approached many kinds of companies ( wih ISO standard ) small enterprises and individuals and placed order which was most feasible . those who are interested to buy can contact me (9901945674) , i am staying at mahalakshmi layout ( near rajajinagar ) , working at R.V .College of Engineering as lecturer in department of M.C.A i will pass on the stickers through my students or colleagues if you are staying at a place where they are put up.. let me know where to send so that you could collect them if you are interested to buy. reply with your mobile number and address if you are interested to buy and want me to send those to your place ( will let you know if some one is put up there ) also if some one wants to collect few stickers and help in raising funds for FSF-India, please let me know collect your sticker sheets as early as possible cheers renuka prasad

Hi every Body, I'm writing this to thank all of those people who worked hard behind this conference. Beacause my final semester project submission deadline is close I can't attend tomorrow. It was very encouraging. Thankyou for the stall, it was great explaining the possibilities of Linux to students. We got really good response. Now it's time to become a member of fsf... I have been promoted this free software since last 4 years but was in no way associated with any official bodies. Just had accounts in few linux forums. Please enlighten me with the procedures and direction! Thank you again to all!
