The event should be as broad based as possible. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2><SPAN class=990074410-09112008>Including new and different groups who
have expressed interest in RMS visit : Kannada Bloggers, Slum computer
Center, Free software friends in the industry ( who joined yesterday in good
numbers ) - who have been working on free software for the past some time - a
joint banner of all groups might be ideal - if not every body can work - under
FSUG banner. However folks explained reasons why it needs to be
'RVCE-Christ-FSUG' Banner.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
