Hi,
I updated the blog and posted few more photos from the main venue of the event and preparations for the protest.
Most of the mobile phones were taken and pictures deleted, I was lucky enough to get out in time.
Cheers

Here is blow by blow account of trouble that brewed up on the second day of National Conference on Free Software 2008 in Cochin university. The activists put up posters against the Novell Corp (the main sponsor of this event) at the Free Software exhibition complex.
The organisers called up Kochi police and man handled the Anivar Aravind a former student of the Cochin University and a well known free software activist.
