I don't want the flyer to talk about any philosophy at all. There are people at the stall who can explain the philosophy in simple and easy terms. Let people actually use some free software & play around with it. This gets people interested enough to look things up further :) There is one more "mass" appeal flyer which talks about benefits of FOSS. Let people come to PLUG meetings / start discussion on mailing list. Or visit the GNU, FSF site. People will then be in a position to understand finer nuances of FOSS. -Devendra Laulkar. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
