Hi All,
THanks Vikram for the note. We will use FSUG list for the organisational matters. GPLv3 list we can use to provide information to participants.
Some update regarding activities. 1. Abhas is working on Sponsorship with help from Praveen and others. 2. James will act as the email contact for participants, he will in turn will contact others for addressing needs to participants. 3. Invitation is being sent by James, if you have any names to suggest which is not there on original list please mail James. 4. Arky has updated the site and it is more informative now. 5. Arky will be following up with media. 6. We have reached nearly 100 registration now. We have registered participation from even outside India. Anurag is doing all work relating to online registration.
I think the list sent by Vikram needs to be discussed in the next meeting of organising team. This needs to happen quickly. Some other urgent work includes. 1. Inviting media people 2. Personal meetings to invite dignitaries 3. Promotion of event in software industry.
regards arun.
I'm putting up a draft list of responsibilites that volunteers could take up. It is divided into technical and non-technical and is by no means complete. So please update this list.
Non-technical
- Registrations and related activities, Help desk.
- Travel arrangements (manning all entry/exit points such as airport,
railway/bus stations,etc... + making some basic arrangements for delegates.) 3. Medical aid. 4. Assisting delegates inside the session halls. 5. Food arrangements. 6. Security arrangements. 7.
Technical
- Monitoring dedicated IRC channel.
- Maintaining audio/video equipment.
Some other urgent work includes.
- Inviting media people
In this case, we need a
- Personal meetings to invite dignitaries
I can volunteer for this, for Dignitaries, in and around Bangalore
- Promotion of event in software industry.
Do we have any publicity Material ready, like posters, flyers to put up ?
I guess break-up volunteers into commitees :: 1. Hospitality - <any takers> 2. Sponsorship - Abhas & team 3. Media - Arky & James 4. Transport/ Travel (for speakers/ delegates) 5. Publicity - Vikram Vincent

Just sent you an openoffice document of the sponsorship request off-list... along with PDF for the invitation. Hope this helps... Tell me if you require help on any changes.
Arun / James: I'm using the plain text content that James sent across some time back.
Cheers, Abhas.

Already working on this one. Can we have the *press invitation* and other invitations on a FSF letterhead? Is it possible to arrange a "Meet the press" shortly to update the media on the Event?

We have a list of people from various IT companies and I have already spoken to many of them. It will be good if we can directly contact the Managements with an official invitation.
