Apologies for using my Mahiti id for this. Also apologies for posting in
HTML. 

Dear Friends,

Greetings on the occasion of Software Freedom Day! I am happy to
announce that we have just couriered out the posters and a covering
letter to a database of Bangalore schools and colleges. I am very
grateful for the support and guidance of the FSUG-Bangalore members.
Unfortunately we have not yet managed to launch the new CIS website. So
the urls are temporary. I will post permanent urls once the site is
up...hopefully on Monday. Please download the files and forward to your
contacts in the academic sector. With thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Sunil
