[...] Dear Angad, First of all, it is great to see your enthusiasm, and we all welcome that. I am hopeful that JIIT will come to become as much a part of ILUG-Delhi, and of freed.in as RKGIT, Ghaziabad is. If you will excuse my being frank, the difference is that a large contingent from RKGIT has been pro-active in their involvement with ILUG-Delhi. Thus, while the JIIT setup looks encouraging, I would still think that it makes sense to take things a step at a time. For Freed 2008, given the short amount of time left, the best that we can do is a one-day satellite conference for developers, aimed at students new to FOSS development Even this will take a lot of effort from all our sides, so that we need to start discussing this now. For example, we would need to discuss accommodation for speakers the night before the satellite conference, and transportation to and from the main venue at JNU. Let us start by planning a presentation from your side at the next ILUG-Delhi meeting (we are hoping to hold one this Sun., 11/10, and will announce it shortly). The presentation should cover what all JIIT can provide in terms of facilities, and logistics. It would also be good if you could get students from JIIT to attend. After that, if we decide to go forward, we can set up a meeting with your faculty. Does this sound good? Can you prepare such a presentation (does not have to be slick, but just covering all points above, and the ones addressed in your earlier mail) by this Sun.?
