Better late than never! We marked SFD in Goa only today (at St Xavier's College, where we took the opportunity to build up a new, nascent user-group) because of the Ganesh Chaturthi long holidays last weekend.

And, we'll be continuing at the Exhibition of Computers and Allied Products (little Goa's largest computer trade fair) on Sept 23/24 at Panjim's Hotel Mandovi.

In Karnataka, only Bangalore appears to had an SFD team. But the link points to FSUG Bangalore's wiki page, the one Praveen had started :) But nothing materialized, I think not many of us had the energy or time to spare from our busy little lives.

Ya I tried to do something on SFD, but as Sajith said nothig materialised on *SFD* but we are still trying to do those things planned for SFD now. (We started very very late - just two weeks to organise and the last date for getting the materials -- CDs T Shirts etc from softwarefreedomday.orghttp://softwarefreedomday.orgwas July 1). Next year we will have a better SFD in Bngalore. Wiki, Mailing list (especially for this are in place already) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/little_league/ (not just for SFD ) http://fci.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page (FOSS Community India for advocacy -- especially for SFD)

The first step is a seminar at BMSCE (Basavanagudi). Ya we are going there this saturday. I just have to confirm the date with CS HOD. So I will let you all know after it is confirmed.

Anyone interested to come ?
