The entire coverage was just about how you dont have to pay for your software and nothing else.

Why we are celebrating this much. It is the duty of the media to give coverage for the free software happenings. dont think that ETV is did a good job. It only means that Free software Campaign in Bangalore is now unavoidable for media.
Please make sure that ETV coverage is not the final thing. And It differs from the campaign idea. So we have to point it to ETV too through feedbacks.

Well it just means that we got to increase our coordinated efforts. The media coverage was just to let the masses know that there is a concept called Swatantra Software. The responsibility of taking the technology down to them in order to bridge the digital divide rests with *us*. Towards the Swatantra Software Movement.

Seconded. It was all about "free" as in "free beer". Wonder how much negative the impact of this publicity would be, for FSF in Karnataka.
