> No, it cannot be considered so. FSF India came to know about the `Second National Conference in Kochi` only when the organisers started sending mails to various fora about the >conference. We were surprised to see this because FSF India was one of the organisers of the first conference in Hyderabad. We tried to communicate with the organisers of the >conference in Kochi and clarify the situation. The facts will be clear from the communications we had with them in that regard that we are publishing now.<br>

>The Organisers of the event continued to refer to their event misleadingly as the followup to the first convention organised in Hydrabad by FSF India, jointly with Swecha and >University of Hyderabad.<br>

The one question that came to my mind after reading that post was,<br>
'Does one name an event based on the people organizing it or based on<br>
the kind of event being organized?' Does your above stated answer mean<br>
that only if FSF India is part of the organizing team, an event can be<br>
called a National Conference from now on? Why are you refraining from<br>
accepting the 'National Conference in Kochi' as a follow-up to the<br>
conference held in Hyderabad, is still not clear.<br>-----------------<br>
<br>
I have not seen any active and live participation by FSF-I<br>in any other place but the mailing list here, where you<br>
actively participate in warding of the blames put forth on you or<br>
simply criticize and comment on other's work. This is really annoying,<br>
the position you hold requires you to set an example to all those looking up to you. Don't mind me suggesting but i think it would be much appreciated by all of us if we could get to see some constructive work<br>
from your side. <br>
