Welcome Krishna. I'm Sajith, working for Andale (smallish company in
Prestige Bluechip Software Park, Oppsite Christ college.) I'd been with
this group since its inception two months back, we've had 2.3 meetings
so far, which were essentially informal get-togethers :)

Well, we are basically Free Software fans and supporters of the GNU
project, which I hope ideas you are familiar with. So far, the general
consensus in the group is to go with an activist style of modus
operandi, rather than the regular LUG style operations. (People, correct
me if/wherever I'm wrong.)

Which means, we're more interested in software as a means of making
a difference in society. We will socialise, get like-minded people in
Bangalore and vicinity to know each other, help the community grow,
interact with NGOs and educational institutions and help them to use
Free Software etc. At least that's what we are talking about.

At the moment, we're planning to celebrate Software Freedom Day
(July 21st) in Bangalore. If you've ideas or suggestions, post it
here or in the wiki:

I think much of the focus depends on you and me - the group members
will decide what the focus should be. Any suggestions?

Sajith.
