I am confident that they will do that, we can help there too.

I agree and I volunteer for it.

We have started a wiki page for distributed co-ordination this campaign.

If you want to help out with this, you can sign up at the wiki page.

(The wiki at bangalore.gnu.org.in was not editable so I could not
create a page there)

I will post a mail to bmslug and I am sure they will be able to help
out in this very important campaign.

How about making some posters, banners  and T shirts, any volunteers ??
> waiting for your suggessions.

Some of my suggestion, looking forward to others suggestions too.

Lets Rock!!!

Cheers
Praveen
