Hey Luggers!!!!
Do we have any takers for the same. Its time for some action and all of us would be glad to have as many as possible on board.
Lets start with a small Open Event for Enterprises-Indivizuals and then migrate from there.

Dear Friends:
I am the Associate Director of PUKAR (Partners for Urban Knowledge Action & Research), a cross-sectoral research collective of scholars, urbanists and professionals based in Mumbai. I have long been lurking on this list for several months, though I am neither a programmer, nor do operate in a GNU-Linux environment (as yet). Many of us in the research and non-profit sector in India are aware of the free software movement, and are thinking seriously about the politics of information and issues of authorship, copyright, etc. I am very keen to have PUKAR work more closely with the GNU-Linux Users Group in Mumbai and the Free Software Foundation in India to explore these issues in depth.
I noticed the recent suggestion by Trevor Warren, Nagarjuna and others for a hands-on workshop for people in Bombay. PUKAR recently organised the DOC-SHOP, a five-day workshop on media and documentation practices for media, architecture and arts students, part of our annual PUKAR Monsoon series working with undergraduate colleges and students in Mumbai. We had five days on different forms of documentation: video, photography, text, sound, and the web. We are now archiving the DOC-SHOP at http://www.pukar.org.in/doc-shop/
We had met Dr Nagarjuna in connection with the DOC-SHOP, and we had hoped to introduce free software in our work, but we did not have enough time to familiarise ourselves with all the new applications and the new environment. The DOC-SHOP was supported by Apple Computer India and they provided machines installed with a suite of applications: Final Cut Pro, iPhoto and iTunes, PEAK, Dreamweaver, and so on. We mostly use Macs in our office as we do a lot of graphics and media work, and are becoming aware of its UNIX core. I am very keen to explore various free and open source software packages for our uses in PUKAR, and to help raise awareness about the technical and politics issues surrounding free software, amongst our peers and friends.
Would you Linuxers consider organising this suggested open workshop in partnership with PUKAR? We have a space available next to our office on the 4th Floor, Kitab Mahal, Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road, next to New Excelsior Cinema, near VT Station. This is centrally located for students, professionals, and the media located in South Mumbai. We can discuss the length, content and form of the seminar, and how we can make it as open and accessible an event as possible, for maximum impact. Let me know your ideas and suggestions.
Best

Hi All,
I would recommend the meet on 8th June at this venue, if Mr. Shekhar is open to the idea of course. Since this place is centrally located, more ppl will be able to attend and more ideas to explore.
For the agenda we can have following things,
1. Discussion about GLUG-Bom and PUKAR partnership. 2. Discussion about the offer of Magnet-I and participation in the expo. 3. Techi talk on Wi-Fi in GNU/Linux by Trevor?
What say guys?

Good Idea. I would also suggest that we charge a minimal fee -- ~20Rs. or something & provide snacks. The best part about the GLUG meets is the interaction with group members -- not the talks IMHO. It would be good if we have more informal time to chat & discuss than to sit formally and listen to someone yak. A debate, game or something interactive would be great as it would cut the ice.
If any volunteering is needed, I am available.
I also kinda like the HBCSE place ... '-)

Let us have this meeting on 8th at PUKAR's office which is just above the Computer Book Shop. Shekhar will send the phone numbers and address. Also to inform: Mr. Arun M, founder of FSF India, and who developed the Malayalam GNU/Linux with Gnome localized is coming to Mumbai on 8th, and I will bring him to the meeting. Most likely we may also have a few other guest on that day.
One of the main agendas is workshops. We will also discuss the Sameer's suggestion and try to shape it up along with other events. Also this meeting will give us a new dimension in the sense of establishing ties with PUKAR.
I just spoke to Shekhar, he will be arranging a PC as well as a projector, just in case we need to show case some products. Arun may also have something to show.
Should we finalize this. We will not have enough time to decide. We need also to update the website after this is fixed.

Dear Friends:
Then it is agreed that the next ILUG Bombay meeting will be hosted by PUKAR at 4.00 P.M. on SUNDAY 8 JUNE 2003. Our address is:
PUKAR 4th Floor, Kitab Mahal Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road Mumbai 400001 Phone (022) 2207 7779
Kitab Mahal is next to New Excelsior Cinema, and is near VT Station. Entrance to Kitab Mahal is from the New Book Company on D.N. Road. Lift is available to the third floor, and then follow the red-carpet staircase to the fourth floor, inside the old office of Everest Advertising.
Drinks and snacks should be available from our office canteen, though I will have to check since it is a Sunday. I will be providing for a Mac and PC laptop and an LCD projector, as well as ample seating for about fifty people, though I don't imagine there will be that many.

Drinks and snacks should be available from our office canteen, though I will have to check since it is a Sunday. I will be providing for a Mac and PC laptop and an LCD projector, as well as ample seating for about fifty people, though I don't imagine there will be that many.
I look forward to meeting all of you on Sunday, along with our PUKAR Intern, Girish Menon.

I would recommend the meet on 8th June at this venue, if Mr. Shekhar is open to the idea of course. Since this place is centrally located, more ppl will be able to attend and more ideas to explore.
For the agenda we can have following things,
- Discussion about GLUG-Bom and PUKAR partnership.
- Discussion about the offer of Magnet-I and participation in the expo.
- Techi talk on Wi-Fi in GNU/Linux by Trevor?
What say guys?
That sounds good enough. FYI, the KReSIT classroom is also available and I have booked it for Sunday evening. Somebody please just decide one venue and announce accordingly, before weekend.
Sameer.
Hi Shekhar

Dear Friends:
I am the Associate Director of PUKAR (Partners for Urban Knowledge Action & Research), a cross-sectoral research collective of scholars, urbanists and professionals based in Mumbai. I have long been lurking on this list for several months, though I am neither a programmer, nor do operate in a GNU-Linux environment (as yet). Many of us in the research and non-profit sector in India are aware of the free software movement, and are thinking seriously about the politics of information and issues of authorship, copyright, etc. I am very keen to have PUKAR work more closely with the GNU-Linux Users Group in Mumbai and the Free Software Foundation in India to explore these issues in depth.
I noticed the recent suggestion by Trevor Warren, Nagarjuna and others for a hands-on workshop for people in Bombay. PUKAR recently organised the DOC-SHOP, a five-day workshop on media and documentation practices for media, architecture and arts students, part of our annual PUKAR Monsoon series working with undergraduate colleges and students in Mumbai. We had five days on different forms of documentation: video, photography, text, sound, and the web. We are now archiving the DOC-SHOP at http://www.pukar.org.in/doc-shop/
We had met Dr Nagarjuna in connection with the DOC-SHOP, and we had hoped to introduce free software in our work, but we did not have enough time to familiarise ourselves with all the new applications and the new environment. The DOC-SHOP was supported by Apple Computer India and they provided machines installed with a suite of applications: Final Cut Pro, iPhoto and iTunes, PEAK, Dreamweaver, and so on. We mostly use Macs in our office as we do a lot of graphics and media work, and are becoming aware of its UNIX core. I am very keen to explore various free and open source software packages for our uses in PUKAR, and to help raise awareness about the technical and politics issues surrounding free software, amongst our peers and friends.
Would you Linuxers consider organising this suggested open workshop in partnership with PUKAR? We have a space available next to our office on the 4th Floor, Kitab Mahal, Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road, next to New Excelsior Cinema, near VT Station. This is centrally located for students, professionals, and the media located in South Mumbai. We can discuss the length, content and form of the seminar, and how we can make it as open and accessible an event as possible, for maximum impact. Let me know your ideas and suggestions.
Best

Hey Luggers!!!!
Do we have any takers for the same. Its time for some action and all of us would be glad to have as many as possible on board.
So what is the plan of action?
When you say Open, open to whom? What about vanue, logistics, topics and speakers?
As u r aware, ppl don't come forward for any thing.
Any suggestions on motivating more ppl for taking responsibilities?
Lets start with a small Open Event for Enterprises-Indivizuals and then migrate from there.
