wonderful idea to  bring all the FSUGs into one  roof. But wasn't that
the intended idea initially?

the FSUG in Chennai, now, mainly  exists (rather few know that it does
exists) just to help the Demo@Schools program. There is no active role
played by  FSUG-Chennai right now.  But  it will be very  good for the
sake of all freedom lovers in  Chennai to have a full-fledged FSUG.  A
few volunteers from  Demo@Schools are working on the  FSUG site and it
should  be up  soon  (as in  weeks  given that  they  are all  working
part-time on this amidst their tight curricular schedules).

we would be very glad to join this effort.
