[FSUG-Bangalore] Software Freedom Day at BMSCE

[renuka prasad]

SUN is paying around 6,000 rs per month for each ambassador in each college
wherever they have selected to market / promote / products / courses /
conducting seminars /workshops etc etc ......... and they have a year
contract for each ambassador... this is what the information i have ........
so this indicates SUN is very active ....

Dont worry about different groups supporting free softwares ,
GNU's                           ( free softwares ) philosophy and manifesto
are very clear, we will have to only bother and take care if some other
groups going against the philosophy and manifesto of free softwares and
claiming that they are free software groups which i dont think we have any
one right now in and around us -- so dont worry keep going on , sharing
colloboration should be the main thing ....

SUN  sponsoring a lot , but take care about software feedom day celebration
-----is the only suggestion..

same problem here in our college tooo

the actual day on which it is celebrated world wide is nearly impossible.

we are also planning on the fourth week --

Seems like September 25th works for both BMSLUG and SUN Club. So I think we

All the best for all your events..
