Dear All,
Sorry for the clutter. let me make things clear.
1) Do we have a confirmation on the RMS talk at IISc - on 'Patents' [ given the current context of " "IP" " Cell Promotion at IISc ] and the prominence 'software patent' is gathering in india - RMS to be communicated about this .
2) If we have confirmation asap then it will help us work better for the event. If not we will wait . I had a initial request but didnt proceed as I dont have a confirmation.
3) I propose that we have Fsug and IISc ( the exact department and so on to be communicated later ) as organisers as Dr. Nagarjuna suggested- of course supporting organisations can put up their support banners - and - we will try to make it as broad based as possible and focus attention on IISc .
4) I am aksing whomever i know including iisc students to join the list
5) we should also not miss any free software supporter in iisc and include them in the effort - they might be quite senior and we might not know them..
6) yes bms is definitely an inspiration
thanks
senthil
