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.
