I will try to fill in more details of the event, We had a small meeting in Tvm, including Arun, Dr Krishnan, Satish Babu, KG Kumar and myself to discuss the how to put the stall.
FSF India got the stall free of cost, thanks to the efforts of Satish Babu. Our stall is near the exit, adjacent to that of PC Quest. The exhibition is in a new building so none of us have visited the place.
Our focus is mainly on the promotion of the Free software philosophy, As things stands we will have two computers running Debian with the latest desktop and applications and one computer with a slide show of screen shots of various application.
We will also put up about 8 - 10 posters depicting the various free software ideas. The volunteers will be from the Engineering colleges here.
We are preparing a handout for general public as well as a detailed dossier to those people who show more than a cursory interest at the stall.
Please see whether you could prepare a handout of software developers, districtwise within the State, alongwith their specialised areas of operation.
This is a nice idea. We will try to do it.
Please also try to distribute as many latest distributions of linux variants, preferably at arbitrary prices, CD writing done at the Stall itself. That action itself would convey many meanings.
Again good point, let us see if we can arrange a CD writer.
Hope you would also put up for display some thin client applications, and demonstrate interoperability factor.
Can you please explain this in a bit more details.
Good Luck, CK Raju KILA
It will also be nice if you can come to Trivandrum and meet all of us.
As always we are looking for more ideas for posters, brochures and handouts.
