I think the representation from User groups is very important.  This
is a very important role for them.  That way the teachers will also be
integrated with the whole community of users and developers.
Therefore, I suggest atleast the Mumbai and Pune user groups part of
this. While Terrence can be a Rep for the GLUG Mumbai, we haven't
heard any committment from Pune.  Any one from Pune and other parts of
Maharastra, please reply soon.

[Rishikesh] From Lokayat Free Software Initiative, Pune, we will send representative for meeting. Please let us know time, date, venue and agenda in advance. We will plan accordingly. We will be following this mailing list.
