Took the liberty on making the doc and adding the 20 questions. If we're going ahead with collaborating on the answers, please feel free to use the following doc:

How about we collaborate on the answers on Google Docs?

Can we have a 'Net neutrality for dummies' post along with what one has to do to voice their opinion?

There are 20 questions that TRAI has asked people to answer and will then take a stand. We can list those 20 questions and sample answers for them so that the lazy can copy and send the email out.

Signing petitions won't help. Sending this email out would.

Hi,

I'd say that in essence taking a stance against such trends is in part what we stand for. We as a group promote open source and freedom, which here applies to case of equality of the internet.

A lot of internal talk and disapproval has been going on at Flipkart with employees not agreeing to this decision. Will update on how that goes on.

So, I'd say we can take a stand, put out articles and show our support.

Regards,

Vidhisha

Hi,

Although its not directly related to OS in general, it is something
OS(and related) communities around the world have taken a strong
stance against! So, if we were to take such a stance it would not be
totally unrelated to what we do(for lack of putting it in a better
way).

I feel, we could curate good resources on this topic and put it out,
without taking a stance in the least case. Atleast we would be doing
our bit spreading information. If you have recently read any good
article about why net neutrality is a good thing, about how it has
been passed in US etc. feel free to share it here/FB.

So what do others think?

Thanks Sathyam for getting this on the public mailing list.

I think Reddit India's response is pretty good: http://www.docdroid.net/wqsd/reddit-india-replies-to-trai.docx.html

And, Medianama's coverage has been spot on (+ the latest one about a letter to TRAI Chairman http://www.medianama.com/2015/04/223-member-of-parliament-writes-to-dot-other-mps-trai-dissenting-against-trai-internet-consultation/).

For Akshay's suggestion of some good resources as to what is happening and why this is important to all of us:

• http://theoatmeal.com/blog/net_neutrality
• and the community member, Elvis' blogpost on this issue: http://blog.elvis.co.in/post/114381032713/net-neutrality-india-a-primer

This document has sample answers. Another person on reddit noted that blindly copying and pasting those answers might make TRAI think it is spam. So let's condense those answers into our own and then we can let the community copy those answers. Since we are relatively smaller community, we shouldn't have the spam problem.
