open mindedness as in ?
Lawyers are usually very conservative and slow to change their point of view.
i'll go and give a preview and beforehand briefing to all of them although computer literacy wont be very high however this could be an introductory conference since this community cannot be ignored considering prof moglen and his team of lawyers working for fsf
That should prove useful - however, I still suggest you plan out what topics you want to touch upon. Things which will be extremely obvious to any free software programmer will seem like heresy to others.
Cheers

Thanks, we either seem to be too conservative or too radical that most people miss our point of view. The era when lawyers dominated the political scene in India is passe now. About 26 lawyers have officiated as Presidents of the United States. I would welcome the suggestion that lawyers should shed conservatism and actively participate in the political affairs of the day and influence right thinking.
Sometime last year, I wrote about the "meaning of life" http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-friends/2005-March/003169.html Simple life on earth is quite possible without computers confounding us, but if we do have higher ambitions, then using computers becomes inevitable. If this is well understood, most constitutions would be reshaped soon, to help us realise the meaning of life at an earlier date.
