Morning Friends,
Here is Free Software User Group - Kochi Website. http://puggy.symonds.net/~fsug-kochi/
Perhaps we can have a website something like this.The "Member contributions page" and "Business directory" are interesting.Though I find LOST bit out-of-place.
In the last Gnu(s) Grazing Sajith had asked about listing of various Users Groups,I can find it here on http://www.gnu.org/gnu/fs-user-groups.html.
Putting up press kit is really a great idea.
Now before we go about building our website,what we need find a balance between technical and advocacy issues.
What'd you say ?

Well, I was asking about a directory of Free Software usergroups and (GNU/)Linux user groups in India in http://www.gnu.org.in, with a state-wise breakup or something - such a central place would be helpful for activists in the country.
Abhas told us that such a list exists in linux-india.org, but what I could find was a placeholder page which should be containing information about ILUG chapters. That page needs to be updated :)
Some bragging here: yours truly was responsible for FSUG Kochi being listed up there :) And the response time from gnu.org webmasters was awful - looked like the volunteers were really overworked :(

Yes,There used to be a page when linux-india was maintained by bangalore LUG(you know who).The currently linux-india site is being taken care by Rajkumar and gang,I have already sent a htmlized list of chapters and some indic project articles to him,as he stuck with some other work he'll update them in a few days.You can join that project on sarovar.org.

Why don't do the same here,sajith.

Yes, I guess Abhas may provide some remedy for it.
