Subject: [ilugd]: Update
Hi,
For those of you who've been wondering what's going on (i.e. those
who're not subscribed to the rms-visit list yet :-), here's a quick
update on RMS' visit to Delhi:
RMS shall be in Delhi from 17th evening to 20th evening. Sarai
(www.sarai.net) is sponsoring his visit and also putting him up at
their guest house in Patparganj where he will have all mod cons, food
and the company of a few techie people. Sarai is also putting a car a
his disposal.
So far there's only one confirmed item on RMS' agenda: the talk at
Sarai at 15:30 on 20th March. All are invited. Another talk at JNU
is pending approval from RMS and the JNU powers-that-be, whom Ajith
Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is coordinating with.
Apart from that RMS doesn't want an overfull agenda, so the only other
stuff we're planning is meetings with press people and with government
officials. If you have contacts in the press or in the Ministry of
IT, please use them to get RMS and the ideas behind free software as
much exposure as possible. This is a great opportunity to build
interest in the public, and once the basic interest is generated we
can sustain it with regular articles, interviews, etc.
I'm working on a press release (which I'm quite rotten at), will send
it to the list once it is in some sort of shape. If you wish to look
at the draft please send me a mail.
Thanks to all who volunteered to put RMS up. If you have ideas about
other activities which we could have while he's here, please join the
rms-visit list and post them there.
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe . How does
a Dilli Haat meet sound? ;-)
