Introduction to Free Software, Open Source and the GNU Movement.<br>
<br>
We start of with our regular discussion on Free Software and related<br>
topics.<br>
This is important for new users.<br>
<br>
Agenda : Why ILUG should be "Indian Libre User Group " ?<br>
<br>
This is an introspective, since 11 years now, we have never dived deep<br>
into our own minds and thought of where we are heading to. Probably<br>
this is one time<br>
when we are thinking of changing our name and reinforcing our<br>
principles, which are what the community is important for. We will<br>
think about how we being part of the Free Software Community,<br>
we need to move forward.<br>
