    ---------- Forwarded message ----------

    Some of us in Thiruvananthapuram met on 6th evening and decided that we
    should celebrate the annual day of FSF India on July 21st. The group
    included Sathish Babu, M. Arun, V.K. Sajith and a few others. We are
    thinking of a one day programme that will include a public meeting,
    discussions and an exhibition. The exhibition will have posters on
    philosophy, posters on software and computers demonstrating different
    kinds of software. We hope that the function will draw some media
    attention and help in popularising Free Software. Applications like
    Blender, Gimp, OpenOffice and Scribus could attract both the public and
    media.

    An email discussion group, fsf-kerala@cc4.tifr.res.in, was also formed
    to discuss our activities, so that we could think of other activities in
    the future at Thiruvananthapuram, and also co-ordinate with people in
    other places who may be interested in conducting such programmes
    elsewhere.

    Any suggestions from members are welcome.
