Since St. Joseph's is a probable venue can you please follow up at IIM,
Bangalore as well. Perhaps we can enlist Srikrishna's help as well. I will
join you guys later.

Hi,
We will have two sessions (the status as of now) while Eben in
Bangalore, one in IIMB (still discussions going on, not confirmed) and
another at St. Joseph's. We need to figure out some important issues
(including funding). We are meeting at St. Joseph college, Shanti
Nagar tomorrow (23rd May) at 6pm.
See you there
Cheers
Praveen

Crushed by the Wheels of Industry
By Jeremy Allison, Special to ZDNet
Being the geek in the family can get you in trouble. I was sat at a
social function with my wife's friends, all happily chattering away in
Mandarin. I can barely count to ten in the language so meaningful
conversation is a little difficult unless it's about arithmetic. I got
bored, which is always a dangerous thing.
"My daughter has a new computer, would you help set it up ?" asked one
of my wife's friends. "I'd love to," I replied. Finally, something to
do that I would enjoy!

Subject: [bms-lug] Minutes of the discussion on "Understanding GPL version 3"
The minutes are posted on the wiki:
http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Bangalore/BMSCE/Understanding_GPL_version_3#Minut…
If you are lazy to click the link I'll give the information here:
First up, of the 18 members registered on the wiki , only 9 turned up!!
Well these were some of the things that were discussed, if I have
missed something please feel free to add it.
Why a third version of GPL is needed.
How the GPLv3 will enable us (The Free Software Community) to stop
deals like the Novell-Microsoft ones.
Saw a video of Eben Moglen speaking on the Microsoft-Novell deal.
The importance of GPLv3 in Embedded Systems and in stoping DRM.
Briefly talked about the Campaign to promote free software in
Karnataka , going to our schools and persuading them to switch to Free
Software.
Decided that the BMSLUG has done enough of talking and that we'll do
some projects on GNU in our holidays in mid-July.

Hi,
Most of you might already know that Eben Moglen will be in India from
June 1st to 10th. We might get a chance to have a session here in
Bangalore as well. Any suggestions on session topic, venue and date
would be nice. I had suggested a session on GPLv3 or a public session
like Freeing the Mind:
http://moglen.law.columbia.edu/publications/maine-speech.html
Let me know your suggestions.
Cheers
