Introduction to Free Software, Open Source and the GNU Movement.

We start of with our regular discussion on Free Software and related
topics.
This is important for new users.

Agenda : Why ILUG should be "Indian Libre User Group " ?

This is an introspective, since 11 years now, we have never dived deep
into our own minds and thought of where we are heading to. Probably
this is one time
when we are thinking of changing our name and reinforcing our
principles, which are what the community is important for. We will
think about how we being part of the Free Software Community,
we need to move forward.
