We can decide about joint programmes when we are organizing it. why we
want to create the flame on rule set. This is a user group. You are
also part of it.  We may not be in this group in all the future. new
users come , volunteer and Organize new processes. It is the way most
of the user communities function.

In some programmes related to free software  SlumDweller programme may
be invite FSUG bangalore to participate. Then it can participate as a
supporting/participating group. In some cases FSUG will be the main
Organizer and a lot of groups may support it. In some other cases like
RMS visit, it will be organized jointly by 3 Organizers. It is the way
things are happening. That can be decided by the user group as usual
