<quote> In Bangalore, Moglen will also speak at the National Law School of India University, the Indian Institute of Science, the Indian Institute of Management and Christ University. </quote> http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2008/dec/06/sflc-india-grant/ -- Any responsible politician should be encouraging a home grown Free Software industry because it creates the basis for future jobs. Learning Windows is like learning to eat every meal at McDonalds.

About Launching uncorkers.org during RMS visit
by Shashi 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Recently I had posted a thread about forming a free software developer community... People had responded to it by joining the Google Group... Uncorkers is a group of hackers organized in order of meritocracy To develop quality free software, pioneering technology, and documentation as well as partcipate actively in the Free Software Movement, You may think about uncorkers as a clone of Apache but the difference is that uncorkers promise to release their work under GPL and they are also active freedom fighters. I've been thinking about launching the website uncorkers.org since last month during the RMS visit... but i was in doubt about it being complete enough for the launch... Now that the code is improving with speed getting its finishing touches I'm sure it will be ready to serve by the end of next week... Sorry if I'm causing trouble by telling this late but How can I launch the site during the RMS visit... For RMS to decide i've made an email draft and the wiki page http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/index.php/User:Shashi/Uncorkers:About Please help. -- , , / \ ((__-^^-,-^^-__)) `_----' `-----_-' `--| o` 'o |--' \ ` / ): : ( :o____o: "------ " www.gnu.org www.uncorkers.org

Dear All, Greetings! We are a group of individuals in *Pune*-Maharashtra, who have come together with the motto on parallel lines of "FOSS". Our members come from all facets of the society including ( and not limited to ) students, software professionals, social workers, businessmen and so on. To describe the concept of our *group* in brief, We work in teams to implement and develop FOSS and related projects. The projects(tasks) undertaken are distributed as per the interest and skill sets of an individual. Moreover, the revenue generated from these projects are shared among the team. We can set up sessions to introduce the whole concept and culture, these sessions will give all enthusiasts a proper calculation of how to make money from projects and related, As we are visiting *KOZHIKODE/CALICUT on 12th* of December 2008 and *BANGALORE on 13th* of December 2008. Apart from participation, I also want your valuable suggestions over where and how can we organize these sessions. -Cheers Paritosh +91 9922904551 Peer pungaliya.ag(a)gmail.com preet(a)wikiocean.net

RMS visits the Slum Computer Center - Saturday 2.30 p.m - 13th December
by Senthil Sundaram (sensunda) 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

hi, The local folks from the community have made questions for RMS. We have sent these questions to RMS. However we thought it will be useful for all of us to think about it. Please do join us on 13th saturday , 2.30 p.m . There will be songs and gimp paintings. The center is behind IBM , Bannerghatta road http://www.travelblog.org/gmaps/map_7Hh.html you can call Balaji : 9448587772 for questions or directions. thanks senthil Questions from the local community ========================== 1) Haridass , a worker who paints walls , he is also part of the ambedkar youth association . He has been a lot of support to the center. a) I am told you are the founder of the free software movement, however there are individuals who make/made proprietary software, what is the impact you personally have seen on individuals who espoused proprietary software ? b) Today I am told that the free software community is able to put up a significant challenge to proprietary software. However what will happen if the proprietary software comes with innovative ways to win users to their side . How do we encounter it. 2) Shakuntala, a full time activist with stree jagruthi samithi , who mobilises house maids, works on child rights and womens right and a slum dweller herself: a) Software is generally a elite thing in our Indian context. What makes you come into a marginalised area, why did you want to visit our slum. Most of use here are dalit. What is the change you envision or want to see in our context. 3) Mani, son of a load / unloading woker, who is gimp artist and teacher at the center a) What are your feelings about what we are upto at the slum computing center . Program plan ========== Date / Time : 13th saturday. RVCE book release function ends at 1.30 p.m. After lunch and rest ... RMS visits slum computer center. Orgn : This community computing center , is not a ngo or a organisation ..its a wiki space and few dedicated volunteers working for a free socitey using free software. Its a local community effort to bridge the digital divide. it speaks of the injustice suffered by the people in local community , like no access to a rest room of their own, wage injustice which makes them dependent on philanthrophy for digital access and the factor of being looked down as a slum community. AIM : We aim to utilise the visit to promote slum computing and free software to the youth in nearby slums and non profit orgns in bangalore. A small stage : in the street will be made. About 50-100 people are expected. 1. RMS comes to the center. We receive him with a book 2. A song by Santhosh - slum commuity center teacher - 15 years old - who teaches smaller children 3. RMS cuts the ribbon and opens Mani's painting exhibition done using gimp ( Mani is 15 years old and the son of loading/unloading worker from the area and is also physically challenged) 4. Presentation on the center by Mani/Sarasu ( first year college student from the slum , mani, sarasu also teach the younger children ) after RMS looks at the paintings. 5. Would RMS like to answer questions given above - to the community - we can transalate. . 6. Would RMS like to talk to the community . We can transalate if neccessary. However if its a longer talk . 40 mts might not be enough. 7. Release of photo story on how the center started ( authored by Mani and Sarasu ) by RMS 8. Song by Shankunatala/Selvi ( Activists of stree jagruthi samithi - a womens group working on unionising house maids - for a descent living ) http://slumdweller.wikispaces.com <BLOCKED::http://slumdweller.wikispaces.com/>
