[FSUG-Bangalore] Meeting at Cubbon Park 29-06-2006

[Vikram Vincent]

Hello All
Well, Praveen, Aanjhan and myself met up at Cubbon Park today. Should say
that we could not take up the 13+points on the list as planned as we spent
all our time just waiting for anyone/everyone to come.
But, we did chat about few aspects:
1. That it would be good if we could have some sort of an open session on
the 22nd with RMS taking the lead. Arky (over the phone), however, pointed
out that RMS may have a tight itinerary and hence may not be able to make it
to an open session and suggested that we could contact the CSI and schedule
some sort of a road show.
A point to think about was that though the scope of the conference were
limited to a certain section of people could we not use it to expand the
network of the free software group?
2. Aanjhan volunteered to take care of the IRC moderation with Praveen's
help.
3. What should the parameters of the Event publicity be? This is very
important cause people are not going to let us waltz into any institution to
simply talk about free software or anything.
4. What kind of publicity material can we expect to distribute? Poster?
Handbills???
5. Finances. Most of the running around for the conference  cannot be on
personal amounts so what is the alternative?
6. We will be having a meeting of all potential volunteers in the first week
of August, delegate responsibilities to them, assign sub-committee
in-charges and overall in-charges. This will help in effective functioning
and prevent swamping of any few individuals.
Regards
Vincent
