Hello All<br>Well, Praveen, Aanjhan and myself met up at Cubbon Park today. Should say that we could not take up the 13+points on the list as planned as we spent all our time just waiting for anyone/everyone to come. <br>But, we did chat about few aspects:
<br>1. That it would be good if we could have some sort of an open session on the 22nd with RMS taking the lead. Arky (over the phone), however, pointed out that RMS may have a tight itinerary and hence may not be able to make it to an open session and suggested that we could contact the CSI and schedule some sort of a road show.
<br>A point to think about was that though the scope of the conference were limited to a certain section of people could we not use it to expand the network of the free software group?<br>2. Aanjhan volunteered to take care of the IRC moderation with Praveen's help.
<br>3. What should the parameters of the Event publicity be? This is very important cause people are not going to let us waltz into any institution to simply talk about free software or anything.&nbsp; <br>4. What kind of publicity material can we expect to distribute? Poster? Handbills???
<br>5. Finances. Most of the running around for the conference&nbsp; cannot be on personal amounts so what is the alternative?<br>6. We will be having a meeting of all potential volunteers in the first week of August, delegate responsibilities to them, assign sub-committee in-charges and overall in-charges. This will help in effective functioning and prevent swamping of any few individuals.
<br>Regards<br>Vincent<br>
