[FSF-India] [LONG] Freedom First - Activities.

[Denish Makadia]

Hello,

Sorry for being impatient and shooting  a mail with questions only, instead
of offering some help.and Thanks for taking all the pain.

I feel that i am misunderstood, and would like to clear contentions of my
previous mail.For more clarity, few lines about me.

I am not  connected with Computer Profession, and attracted to FSF
purely by the Philosophy it ( would have  used WE) holds, and quite exited
to meet the people in person who leave by that philosopy and unselfish
motives.
Moreover I would be attending first Conference in *Computers * field, at
which I am a novice.{I am an Engineer in Plastics and work as a  Works
Manager with some organisation in Baroda. }

I am having the knowledge about  FSF-I limited around  the website and this
list,
(doesn't have any idea about how can I help, so anticipated that if
anything )

Will not be impatient, (I now think I had been impatient in process of
Registration also), but now you  might have got the idea of my eagerness,
and again beg your pardon for spoiling The fine Monday Morning.

I fully agree, and extend my support at anything i would  be able to do, and
can detail more of my capabilities offlist if required.

But my contention was :
Are all the Arrangements left to them only, without any helping hands ?or
People are helping them but the discussions are offlist/ in person.

I have a little idea about it since my lurking around FD.net and FD india.
(hope i am there in Archives :)
and I highly appriciate the efforts put by all of them who had made this to
happen in India, and I always wish to be a part of it if time permits.

I didn't intended  to break the privacy of anyone, but i was eager to know
more about people I am going to see, and if it was a unfair, I dont have to
ask anything about it.

OTOH  I request those prticipants to give me their contacts offlist, if they
can help this newcomer to understand this field when i am there at Tutorials
and Conference....

Hope that I had cleared the things, and would be allowed to know the things
at depth ( to the extent  i am found to be fit.)

Thanking Again.
