I dont know whom you have mailed. I saw a mail in the WG some time back
saying that you would like to spread the ideology. Glad to know you are
interested in spreading the ideology of Free Software. I apologise for
not responding early. I was out of town and FSF India doesnt have any
full timer yet.

If you are interested in working with some specific programs of FSF
India I would like you to get in touch with Suraj with regards to
Demo@School program. (Please see the note i've sent recently) 

Amol has started working on Freedom Matters an online journal on Free
Software. Contact if you are interested in writing. 

DotGNU may be a good technical project in which you can work, as you are
into the webservices technologies. I hope you are already in touch with
Gopal regarding this. 

>From the letter you seems to be interested in establishing FSF chapter
in Pune. It is a very good idea. FSUG Chennai is the first affiliate of
FSF India and working on a specific project. 

It may be a good idea if you can work on networking with colleges. 
Abhas  is already doing some work, may be he can provide more input on
same. 

If you are interested in doing some other specific task. Please let me
know. 



Regards, 
Arun. 

Kuzima, site needs to be updated with Demo@school note and a section on
help wanted.
