Sameer,
Do you know anyone from organizing body of LinuxAsia? I want to get the firm answer from them about the stall space for FSF India. Tomorrow I am going to talk to them on phone and if I don't get anything firm, on Saturday I will go to their office in Noida. Printing posters have to be postponed till we get assurance for stall space.
Somebody get in touch with them and get thigs confirmed so that we can work out a plan.
Yes I will talk to them today (its already 0105 Hrs of 13th Jan :).
We are planning to do round robin and attend talks in the process. At any given time there should be at least one person at stall to attend the visitors. Also if we get a PC we will be installing GNU software on GNU/HURD and keeping it on display.
GNU/Hurd is good. What about GNU/Linux ;) I guess we can keep a Debian box and show off some of the awesome free software that we have [blender, GNU classpath, gnash, etc. for example].
Even better.
For this installation we will need CDs and DVDs of GNU/HURD and other GNU software that I don't have at the moment. GCC certainly will be one and if possible working GCJ. Of course all these things depend on we getting a PC there like we got one in FOSS.IN.
I guess the LA guys will provide a PC for sure. Better ask them about that too.
Sure, I will.
To attract people I am also planning to get a banner printed on flex (somebody please step in for the design please) and ask people to sign on it to mark the presence.
I volunteer to do the Flex banner design. Let's see if I get some time in the next couple of days, I might come up with some Inkscape foo.
Best luck.
I will be paying for poster printing. Anyone for banner on flex, CDs DVDs of GNU HURD and other GNU software?
How much does that cost? May be FSF-I itself can pay?
Posters 60-100Rs each. Flex 500Rs (not sure about flex). I checked CDs and DVDs on linux bazar dot com the prices are like this:
Debian 3.0r5 DVD x86 binary only (300 Rs) 1 disk Debian 3.0r5 CD x86 binary only (450 Rs) 9 disks Debian 3.1r0a Cd x86 binary only (800 Rs) 14 disk
