 After LinuxLingam's tasty and entertaining minutes
 of the March Meet,
 it's time to start looking forward toward the April
 Meet.
 
 The 3 basic questions are:
 
 1. Where (venue?)
 
 2. What (what's the theme of the Meet?)

How about localization of linux.

Lot of peoples are not able to use softwares just
because it's not in their mother tongue. IndLinux
(http://www.indlinux.org) and few others have been
doing effort for localization of linux. There are
still lot of things to be done. Here goes some of my
ideas:

1.) Softwares for peoples like shop keepers or those
who would like to do some computing if it could be
made easier for them. (Not at all mean that they can't
be a computer geek)

2.) As a educational media for students in rural
areas.

3.) Mail clients, messengers, browsers.

I propose we start next meet with configuration of
softwares in local languages and share ideas on new
and existing software projects for localization.

Now as agenda is already decided, I would still like
to give a talk on localization (If it's fine with
everyone :) )
 
 3. Who (will be speaking?)
 
 After doing some high-level integer optimisation and
 passing the
 questions through my Fourier Analysis and
 differential equations
 engines, I managed to distill the three questions
 into one:
 
 1. Who is organising the next Meet?
 
 Please step up if you would like to be considered.
 
 Oh, BTW, the March Meet was a ball of fun from start
 to finish!
 
 Regards,
