They also approached us asking if we can do it together. Few of us, the BMSLUG members went to SUN office to talk to SUN people about this. SUN people want to collaborate with the Free and Open Source Community in general not just SUN clubs or groups. Also at the moment doing 2 SFDs at BMSCE is not a very good idea,</div>

<div dir="ltr"> the actual day on which it is celebrated world wide is nearly impossible. Also FSUG-Bangalore is celebrating this as a week long fest. So we are planning to do this on some other day than 20th September. </div>

Seems like September 25th works for both BMSLUG and SUN Club. So I think we must go with that date. What do you all think?<br clear="all">
