At the August 8th LUG meet it was decided that the organizing committee for the September LUG meet will of Nirav Mehta, Narayan Kejariwal and myself. This meet will be held at IIT Bombay, Powai. The three of us are coordinating amongst ourselves and our plan is to get one well known speaker from industry, and one expert in legal issues to speak on GPL and patenting issues. If there are any recommendations for either of these, please let us know.
For the October 10th LUG meet, Mitul has volunteered to organize the meet.
Incidentally, Michael Tiemann, Vice President, Open Source Affairs, Red Hat Inc will be in India in the second week of October. He is an excellent speaker and it would be good to have him address the LUG meet. The only problem is that he is coming during the week and our LUG meets are always held on Sundays. Perhaps these can be two seperae events. Red Hat is willing to host his talk. Perhaps the October LUG meet organizing team can suggest what can be done? Mitul? A brief profile of Michael is attached with this mail.

Michael Tiemann is a true open source software pioneer. He made his first major open source contribution over a decade ago by writing the GNU C++ compiler, the first native-code C++ compiler and debugger. His early work led to the creation of leading open source technologies and the first open source business model.
In 1989, Tiemann's technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Cygnus Solutions, the first company to provide commercial support for open source software. During his ten years at Cygnus, Tiemann contributed in a number of roles from President to hacker, helping lead the company from fledgling start-up to an admired open source leader.
Tiemann serves on a number of boards, including the Open Source Initiative and the GNOME Foundation. Tiemann also provides financial support to organizations that further the goals of software and programmer freedom, including the Free Software Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Hi Venky,
This would be great to have Michael on the board to share his perspectives and the path that he followed to get Cygnus earn out of Free/Libre Softwares.
This would be quite interesting for startup companies as well as individuals to follow similar path.
Can you find out the exact dates when he would be landing here in October ? It is nice to know that RedHat would be willing to help on the venue front as well.
Any one on the LUG to assist me on the October Meeting ? Come on fella linuxers, lets make the October meet one of the interesting meets that we have had till now.
Looking forward to hear back from the List members.
Best Regards, Mitul Limbani CTO, Enterux Solutions The Enterprise Linux Company (TM) http://www.enterux.com/
