report on the stake holders meeting
by Nagarjuna G. 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

I attended the stake holders meeting in Mumbai at the Patent's office. The room was full of people, more than 80 people attended the meet. Of which about 30 were interested in the software issue. the rest of them are interested mostly in bioinformatics, chemical processes etc. What gave me solace is that this is not an attempt to modify the law. So, status quo exists. software patents per se are not possible in India. However. what the office is doing is it prepared a draft of a Manual helping the inventors in how to apply for a patent. In that manual, there is an attempt to suggest how to exploit the 'per se' and apply for software patents in combination with hardware. Due to several questions on this issue raised by several of us, and also due to written feedback submitted by quite a few others in Delhi meet, they are organizing a stake holders meeting in Bangalore later (in the coming three to four months period) where they are going to settle all the doubts and listen all the points of view. The date of bangalore meeting is not yet announced. Meanwhile, chennai and kolkatta meetings are still going to be held before the bangalore meeting. It is a good idea to send our supporters to both these places, so that the officers must see that there is sufficient opposition to this manipulation. Nagarjuna

If not read it here NOW -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam It would be great if a few of the interested folks in Chennai can get together at some place with Internet connectivity and start squashing bugs jointly. Anybody game? If so please reply to this thread. We will get a venue (if you have a proposal/agree to host for the same, most welcome). Its not necessary that we end up being there all the three days, we can fix a convenient time and get together. In fact we have our LUG meet too this week IIRC. May be after the LUG meet we can head to some place and start squashing bugs. If nothing works out, I have wireless at my place and a big covered terrace where I can host a few people with Coffee and biscuuuts ;). Also there is a quick intro session tomorrow at #ubuntu-bugs @ irc.freenode.net from 2130 hrs IST for general questions about the Global Bug Jam. Be there!!!
