Yes that will be very good..if we fit in the rules fsf-I recognises ,
guides otherwise we are out..

Yes many of them whom its possible to bring into fsug we do bring
in..from other orgns...some ieee folks..aid folks have joined the list I
guess..however during some events...joint banners are necessary..as they
are doing work too...and it helps us bring them into free software as
well..

Ambedkar youth for example..are  no where near emails and
computers..however they are important contributors to the local
community picking up free software...but they would have their own
identity.....fsug doesn't fit them..

its actually good to have fsug focus on free software - and some body
with another name - focus us - on what they would like to..when
especially they would like to combine free software with anything else [
empowerment , awareness , social consicousness and so on , dalit rights
] and fsf-I to recognise this...

Yes if somebody wants to focus on hard core free software alone - then
they should work under fsf-I as much without fragmentation.
