scribbled their comments below, is just a matter of commonsensical thinking,
and I believe its lacking! Why I am so confident is because I have had the
honor of partaking in the very Students Parliament organized by the SFI with
the backing of all the 5 University Unions in Kerala. RMS who came down to be
there went directly to meet the then opposition leader Com: VS Achuthanandan. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Just to show some light on the above statement<br>
If you are mentioning about RMS Visit to CUSAT on 2004 January 23 (<br>
just after WSF 2004) It was Organised in the joint banner of FSUG<br>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">CUSAT & Cochin</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> <st1:place w:st="on">Union</st1:place>.
Most of the work is done by<br>
voluntters of FSUG Kochi & FSUG CUSAT. like Anwar Ummer, Vimal Joseph,<br>
me, Ragoo, Mahesh T Pai, Sameer Thahir etc<br>
<br>
FSUG cusat is initiated by Anwar, me and sameer.<br>
If you need more clarity on this check the at FSUG-Kochi archives on<br>
gmane and fsug-cusat archive on freelists.<br>
<br>
<br>
Also your title shows your lack of understanding . It is a Free<br>
Software conference. not FSF Conference<br>
<br>
