I've just got back from getting the buzz-fix and #1024 done on my phone and I'm getting started on the state-of-the-art (currently, Android). A bunch of things, like wifi and gprs which are supposed to work out of the box do not work for me and it would be nice to get a second opinion. I propose this Saturday and I can host it at home. Anyone interested ? -- Alok

Dear Friends from BLUG and fosscom, Hello and greetings. This is to invite you to a planning meeting for the next civil society summit. Free and Opensource Software could form an important part of the deliberations, and we would like you to help us right from the start with the design of the summit itself. The first of this series of meetings is scheduled at 2pm on 4th December 2009 at Centre for Internet and Society (above Wockhart's Hospital on Cunningham Road) in Bangalore. For last minute details on the directions to the venue please call the CIS numbers Centre for Internet and Society, No. D2, 3rd Floor, Sheriff Chambers, 14, Cunningham Road, Bangalore - 560052 Ph: +91 80 4092 6283 Fax: +91 80 4114 8130 ( Map<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=centre+for+internet+and+so…> ) Sunil Abraham of CIS has kindly agreed to be our host. For any more details please contact openspace : 60(a)openspace.org.in or call us at 080-23534797; 918088506595 With best wishes Anita and Edwin __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Civil Society Summit: The state of the Indian Republic @ 60 22–24 January 2010, Bangalore, India The Civil Society Summit is a premier *knowledge and networking* event of civil society in India. It is to celebrate continuing freedom struggles in India, and to recognise present day freedom fighters. Its primary goal is to bring together leading thinkers and practitioners in development and human rights with their counterparts in different sectors to - *Inform* civil society actors about the developments in knowledge, cutting edge technology and tools through keynote addresses. - *Inspire*, by having living legends (such as Right Livelihood Awardees, senior social activists, business people and public servants) interact with upcoming leaders though round tables. - *Innovate *by* *providing space and opportunity for diverse actors—from corporate sector, government, media, sports, medicine and the civil society—to interact, and find areas of synergy and synchronicity in panel discussions. - *Coordinate* in action by providing opportunity for sharing information on their activities and synchronising them through group discussions. The summit will be in Bangalore, India from 22–24 January 2010. It is special since on 26 January 2010, India completes 60 years as a sovereign republic. The Civil Society Summit will discuss the state of our republic 60 years after we promised *‘to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.’* The Republic Day is in some ways even more special than the independence day. The independence day (15 August) was selected by the British to be on the anniversary of the day they won World War II. R-Day (26 January) was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the Quit India day. Till R-Day the Monarch of England was the head of state. From R-Day, it was our president. Till R-Day, the feudal British law of graded social inequality was the law. >From R-Day we had our own constitution with promised equality, justice and fraternity—legally abolishing the caste system and ensuring universal adult franchise. The Summit will have keynote addresses by internationally renowned practitioners, a few panel discussions and a series of roundtables so that everyone gets to interact and gain in depth understanding on their areas of interest. State group discussions will help coordinating action. Campaign coordinators, representatives from industry and government will add to the richness of the interaction. The schedule will allow for sufficient one–on–one, informal, off–session interaction. The Summit will honour present day freedom fighters and remember those who are no longer with us. *You can contribute by:* - Registering early. It helps in arranging the logistics. - Suggesting speakers and panellists. - Help design the programme. The content and speakers for the keynotes, panels and roundtables have to be decided. Even the structure and the registration fees are fluid as of now. Please join by sending a mail to * css2009–subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com* <css2009-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com>. - Identifying present day freedom fighters to be honoured. - Letting us know who else to invite. - Informing others so that they register and participate. *Registration* *Deadline* 31 December 2009 *Email* 60@openspace. org. in *Fee* (To be decided) Programme - Participation is by prior registration only. - Chief executives of organisations, national or state conveners of networks and those being groomed for leadership will benefit best from the summit. - There needs to be a broad perspective and respect for different opinions since there will be leaders from different sectors—from politics, business and art to science, technology and human rights to theoreticians, practitioners and managers. - All shades of opinion are welcome, provided human rights are respected.
