[Fsf-friends] In Goa (India), we meet by the beach.

[Frederick Noronha (FN)]

GOA is one of the popularly-visited tourist destinations of India. Our 
GNU/Linux users' group decided to shift this month's event (and possibly 
future ones too) to a venue by our scenic coast. We meet-up at the canteen 
of the  Kala Academy, an arts and performing centre just outside the 
state-capital of Panjim.

Holidayers in this part of the globe are more than welcome! 

ILUG-Goa, the GNU/Linux network, meets in Goa this Saturday, Dec 27, 4 pm. 
In keeping with our plans for meeting at more scenic locales, we will be 
meeting up at Campal this week. Someone suggested we meet up at a beach 
shack -- who knows, we might. Our friendly LUG's motto is shifting to: 
"You pay for what you eat and the tea; the beach and the technology come 
free."

Talks for this week: 

	LinuxBIOS project and a made-in-Goa Grub patch (by
	Yunus Shaikh and team, from Ponda)

	XFCE and why it appeals to me -- Prof Anil Seth, 
	head of IT Department, PCC College, Verna.

	Mario Alvares -- Saraswati: one-mind. An information
	sharing system for schools in Goa, through connecting
	them via the Internet. A low-cost solution that
	enables member schools to share knowledges and 
	resources with others.

	Discussion (Animesh Nerurkar): plans for promoting
	GNULinux to Khandola, a local college.
