hello rajshekhar yes youre absolutely right in your view about lawyers but dont forget i am a lawyer too though very new to all this but isnt prof moglen and his team already an inspiration.but yes you re right it could be boring for the free software community to hear things like whats a source code and things of the same genre.thnx a ton for this positive response and i'll be greatful if you could suggest what kinda topics we should cover apart from a basic key note address telling them about what we re talking.it will be of tremendous help.april is when i plan to hold this conference and would look forward to all of you guiding me through this with ideas ,suggestions, orders and participation ,i really think this can work out
Warm Regards Mishi Choudhary
Mishi, Have you read the book ``Free Software, Free Society'' ? It's an excellent collection of essays on free software and related issues. It also has an introduction which explains what is source code and the software related jargon. I'd recommend you read this book and also tell your friends to read the book. The idea of having a conference is excellent and we'll be very happy to support it. We need to explain the advantages of Free Software & Open Standards and it's relevance to lawyers and law firms. We also have two pretty well known Free Software hackers in India who are also lawyers by profession. I am sure they'll also be interested in this. I am looking forward to this event ... Regards, BG
