Since it seems that we may not be able to have Eben Moglen in the
eastern part of the country from the itenary Mishi Chaudhury
mentioned, is there any possibility of having Georg Greve in Kolkata?

My collaborator in the SELF project, and President of FSF Europe,
Georg Greve, will be visiting HBCSE, TIFR next week, from monday to
thursday. He is in India from 3rd June till 15th June.
He leads the free software movement in Europe. He was to come for the
SELF Conference during February, but due to problems with planning he
could not make it.
Please let me know which day should we have a meeting in Mumbai. And
friends in other locations, let me know if you like to invite him for
an event, we can explore a possibility.
