I will try to fill in more details of the event, We had a small meeting
in Tvm, including Arun, Dr Krishnan, Satish Babu, KG Kumar and myself
to discuss the how to put the stall.

FSF India got the stall free of cost, thanks to the efforts of Satish
Babu. Our stall is near the exit, adjacent to that of PC Quest. The
exhibition is in a new building so none of us have visited the place. 

Our focus is mainly on the promotion of the Free software philosophy,
As things stands we will have two computers running Debian with the
latest desktop and applications and one computer with a slide show of 
screen shots of various application.

We will also put up about 8 - 10 posters depicting the various free
software ideas. The volunteers will be from the Engineering colleges
here.

We are preparing a handout for general public as well as a detailed
dossier to those people who show more than a cursory interest at the
stall.

This is a nice idea. We will try to do it.

Again good point, let us see if we can arrange a CD writer.

It will also be nice if you can come to Trivandrum and meet all of us.

As always we are looking for more ideas for posters, brochures and
handouts.
