As individual PLUG members I guess there are many who have "contributed" to FOSS. As a user group PLUG has done ample enough to spread FOSS * regular meetings * conducting/participating in events * Selling FOSS CDs/DVDs (with many people all round the country ordering) - this is activity is as part of PLUG society. a more exhaustive list here http://plug.org.in/activities.php Unfortunately advocacy/promotion/general help has been lost from the "contribution to FOSS" list since recent past! So its not a compulsion on PLUG to "contribute" as much as its not a requirement for you to be a contributor if using FOSS.
