[FSUG-Bangalore] FSUG - Karnataka

[renuka prasad]

well let me tell my views on these

1) if we have to plan for the foundation and fsf-karnataka is the intention
( free software foundation - karnataka ) first thing is where will the
contributors contribute the funds --- this is my my first worry -- i will
contribute 1000 Rs for that as a fund the day it sarts -- but where is the
website where i can donate online --- i cant take DD and do other things (
assume )

2)fsf-karnataka -- if the events happens independent of fsf-india then i
feel we need to rethink on these

3) fsf-india itself has to become more stronger -- lets work towards that
first

4) please stop commenting about some bodies presence in some part of the
country or world  and still being part of Free software moovement ----- i
feel freedom fighter are freedom fighters whereve we go we have right to
tell about free softwares and give freedom to the users of softwares

5 ) So good that we have a separate fsf ----- when it is a foundation then i
thing there is need for lot of ground work to be done -- i feel another two
more years are needed to make FSUG more in karnataka then we can form a fsf
- karnataka

6) foundation means lot of contributions would pur in then who will manage
all that and then there are many events have to be regualarly organized
through out
---- so first lets make the community aware of the free softwares through
out state and then we shall decide and do very organized way

So if we think practically and morally we need to become much more stronger
and create more and more awareness then we can think of fsf-karnataka

if fsf karnatak is very much necessary then i can talk to some of the people
who can even contribute offcie space and other things necessary -- i cant do
that until and unless some concreate work is not shown

These are my views ----- so lets meet once ( FSUG -Bangalore or wherever you
are ) and have more discussions
