- Website - any takers ?
Praveen and Thejesh will take care of the web site as also any other technical requirements.
Praveen/Thejesh please update the site and mention that event is being organised by FSF India and IIMB. We need to put a link to registration form once Anurag finishes his work.
- Press release - Arky is expected to send this to us today.
Arky - can you send a draft to the list? Dinesh and Thejesh also volunteered to help freeze the draft so that we can start using it asap.
Press release is final lets send that out once registration form is ready
- List of invitees - is there any one to help ?
Here is how we can step through this:
- Freeze on the program so that it can be included in the press
release. At least we should know the major topics of discussion. Once we have this we will also know whom to invite for which session.
Freezed but site is not updated. I will fix that.
1. Get the press release ready. The same can also be used to prepare a
PDF note that can be used to invite people over email or postage invitations. This will be very important to invite people.
I will send a my list of name which can be extended. We need an invitation letter Arky can you help in that also ? We need to design letter head also. Do we have designers ?
3. Based on the above, we can draw up a list of organisations /
individuals who we need to formally invite.
- Bank account - immediate.
- Sponsorship - nothing will work with out this, a sad reality.
There were two offers in the meeting:
Thejesh volunteered to ask Mahendra (who works with him at Infosys) to see if they would be interested in sponsorship. If there is some interest from them, then I can get involved in this and follow it up.
Praveen also said that he will contact HP and see if they are interested in the sponsorship.
Good, Abhas please follow up with Asoke on Intel sponsorship. We will have to give a letter to them. I will write to Venky for support from RedHat.
What about Yahoo ?
