Hi all

Sorry for the delayed response. Originally we got engaged in lot of
events in and around AP, TN & Kerala. So it would not be possible to
organize the event on August 20th.

Also the colleges we approached said that they were busy in
admissions. They suggested to arrange the activity some time around
September, so that even freshers can also take part in it.

We will try again to organize the event sometime around in the month
of September and we hope that we get the same amount of enthusiasm we
got when this thread started.

Cheers
Siva

Hi all

We have postponed the Free software workshop to September 10-12
(Friday-Sunday). To finalize the venue and look after the event
management, i will come to Bhubaneshwar on September 4th.

We will have dignitaries from FSMI(http://fsmi.in) to address the
gathering and inaugurate the sessions on Friday. Also resource people
from Industry will take sessions on various Free software topics and
also will inaugurate GNU/Linux labs in some colleges.

I humbly request support from all Free software hobbyists, activists
and organizations based in Odisha to help us make this initiative a
success

Cheers
Siva
