Welcome aboard Nikhil. We need help on following things. Help whereever
you can.
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.
So far we have four members:
Sameer N. Ingole - Gurgaon
Amol U. Hatwar - Gurgaon
Mishi Chowdhary - ??
Nikhil Prabhakar - ??
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.
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 should receive handouts of FSF India and SPACE soon. Guys at
Thiruvananthapuram will be sending them in. 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 will be paying for poster printing. Anyone for banner on flex, CDs
DVDs of GNU HURD and other GNU software?
Any suggestions, inputs, criticism, advice.. ?

Somebody get in touch with them
and get thigs confirmed so that we can
work out a plan.

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].
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

I guess the LA guys will provide a
PC for sure. Better ask them about that too.

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.
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?

Sameer,
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:
Okay fine. I will check
out what we can do about 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
Well, there is no point buying
the CDs from linuxbazaar.com as they
are already selling with a huge premium. Nikhil has the Debian 14 CD
set, I guess we just need to get hold of the DVDs. I hope ILUG-D will
be of some help in this regard. Nikhil, shoot a mail to ILUG-D and see
if you can manage the Debian DVDs and get a few copies burnt.
Regards,
BG

Do check out as to what iLUG-D are making copies of and whether they can
share the resources for FSF-D to make number of copies. In all previous
editions of the event, iLUG-D has been of good help in ensuring that the
stalls are proper in the .org area - do have a talk with them if you can.

I've various disros of GNU/Linux with me.I think there is no point in buying
distros.We can share our resources.In any case I'm always ready to download
more distros/frees softwares/speeches/talks on my 128kbps bandwidth :-)
Regarding burning CDs if volume is not too high we can even volunteer for
burning CDs.

We
can't sell _any_ distro as we can't guarantee that they contain
only free software. Debian & the Ubuntu single CD can be done. Talk to
ILUG-D about Debian DVDs. They might even provide some insight as to
how many CDs/DVDs we should burn.
Regarding burning CDs if volume is not too high we can

It won't be too high. Talk to ILUG-D about this. And since
Canonical
would be present in LA, I guess we can skip selling Ubuntu CDs as I
guess they'd be giving away a lot in any way.
