Anyone planning to go for this event? I'm planning to go, but need to team up with someone knowledgeable to prepare some sort of speech/document.
Agree with above. I am planning to go as well BUT it would be helpful if someone more familiar (e.g. senior members of FSF) with such meetings would list out:
- what is going to be discussed e.g. draft of the software patent
manual. If so a link to it.
The Draft Patent Manual is at http://ipindia.nic.in/ipr/patent/DraftPatent_Manual_2008.pdf
- who are likely to attend the meet.
Nagarjuna, Saurabh, myself, Prof. Phatak from IIT Bombay. The delhi event had around 70 people attending. for more details, see my blog at www.osindia.blogspot.com
- how can members of the LUG participate/help at this meeting.
This document may be helpful. We had commissioned Lawrence Liang and his team at Alternative Law Forum to write this and they did a brilliant job of putting this together virtually overnight.

Also, the End Software Patents website (www.endsoftpatents.org) website may be useful.
Hope this helps?
