It was the Karnataka team who first had a session on Free Software at
SSIT Tumkur.
SJCE Mysore has been around for quite some time.
The Karnataka team has been taking free software to remote areas and
various under privileged groups all over the State and coordinating
with many organisations working on the field.

Why are you bringing in unrelated issues? When did I say I am not a
part of FSUG-Bangalore.
Bangalore NOT EQUAL TO Karnataka.
The Movement is evolving and FSUG-bangalore is not. Please read
http://www.gnu.org.in/board-statement-on-recent-issues where FSF-I
claims to be undemocratic and that FSUG-Bangalore is an off-shoot of
FSF-I.

Anivar, who are you to dictate what we should or should not do in Karnataka?
