<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=276283310-13112008>1) Do we have a
confirmation on the RMS talk at IISc - on 'Patents' [ given the current
context of " "IP" " Cell Promotion at IISc ] and the prominence 'software
patent' is gathering in india - RMS to be communicated about this .
</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=276283310-13112008>2) If we have
confirmation asap then it will help us work better for the event. If not we will
wait . I had a initial request but didnt proceed as I dont have a
confirmation.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=276283310-13112008>3) I propose that we
have Fsug and IISc ( the exact department and so on to be communicated later )
as organisers as Dr. Nagarjuna suggested- of course supporting
organisations can put up their support banners - and - we will try to make it as
broad based as possible and focus attention on IISc . </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=276283310-13112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) we should also
not miss any free software supporter in iisc and include them in the effort -
they might be quite senior and we might not know them..</FONT></DIV>
