The session would be of great use for teachers and students pursuing interests
in electronics, computer science and physics, especially for those who have a
passion for freedom even on research issues.
All are welcome. MES College of Engineering, Kuttippuram is 3 kms from

As many of you know FSF India is organizing GPL V3 Conference at
Bangalore, (http://gplv3.gnu.org.in). The response to the conference
was overwhelming, and we already recieved registrations beyond the
capacity. We thank you all for the enthusiastic response.
Due to recent increased security restrictions on both International
and national airlines, some of our guests were diverted to other less
restrictive airlines which allowed laptops and books. Making these
alternative arragements to our guests caused doubling of the expenses,
and cancellation expenses. In some cases refunds were also not
possible. As a result FSF India does not have these extra funds at
this moment. We thought of bringing this to the notice of free
software community, and explore the possibility of support. This is an
appeal to contribute to FSF India. Since we do not have enough time
to make alternative arrangements we seek your active support at this
needy hour. Even if the support is small from each of you, if more
people give a small sum, we will be able to make sure this will
happen. The additional required budget is around Rs. 150,000/- (or
around $3000/-). If you also know any one who could sponsor a ticket
or part of the ticket do let us know.
The conference registration was kept free and we thought we could
manage well with our earlier budgets. Conference registration
continues to be free, but do consider sending donations. You may also
consider becoming taking fellowship (http://www.gnu.org.in/fellowship).

Hi,
I am making an application which is actually a combination of different
packages. Now the problem is these packages are of diffrent licenses like :
GPL, LGPL, MIT, MPL.
Now I am confused in which license my application should be released ?
And whether it is at all required to have a license for my application or not?
Regards,
Kushal
Hi all,
This is Rudradeep Bhattacharjee writing in from
Mumbai. I am presently an Independent Research Fellow
with Sarai, working on a documentary on the theme
'Cyberspace and Freedom, in the Indian context'.
I was wondering if anyone had any interesting visual
material, photographs, video fotage, etc., which might
be useful. I am sorry about the vagueness, but the
fact is I have no idea what you might be having. If
there is anything at all that you think is
interesting, please write back.
Thanks.
