Pravin can you help here ?) 6. Invitations to Speakers 7. Making speakers list. 8. Printing/Designing conference letter pad, posters and other materials. 9. Budget preperation (Abhas) 10. Logistics management team.

o Let's call up for volunteers locally in Bangalore, also see if any IIMB students can volunteer, we can break up tasks in teams. Putting up an volunteer page on the website can help.
o FSF- India Working group, can prepare a draft for a press release
o Speaker invitation, try to get some senior officials, present from the ministry, where free software has been succesful. (kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh). PMO and President's Office has good people.
o In case of speakers/participants from other countries[Latin American, europe....] We need to provide conference invitation, to speed up their visa process, Some info/template on that can be put up on the wiki.
I think if possible, the team locally can meet up on a regular basis ( Arky, Pravin, Abhas, Vikram Vincent, Thjesh GN, Sankarshan) Did I miss anybody from the list?

Yes, need to do this as early as possible.

Ok,
o Speaker invitation, try to get some senior officials, present from
the ministry, where free software has been succesful. (kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh). PMO and President's Office has good people.
Some one should look after this, any volunteers ?
o In case of speakers/participants from other countries[Latin
American, europe....] We need to provide conference invitation, to speed up their visa process, Some info/template on that can be put up on the wiki.
We need to focus on our neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka etc.
I think if possible, the team locally can meet up on a regular basis (
Arky, Pravin, Abhas, Vikram Vincent, Thjesh GN, Sankarshan) Did I miss anybody from the list?
Very important. Also need to make a calender.

I could do this if we draft out what info is to be captured.

List is required.

I think this will be sufficient.

Hi Jhinx,
Was preparing the first draft of GPLv3 Conference press release, I think it would be great if you can help me with it. Perhaps we can also ask Fred to review it.
And the GPLv3.gnu.org.in website also needs a lot of content. That would be next thing we can work on.
Cheers
