Hey I really don't know what a sponsor means... I am thinking of putting fsf as the sponsor (only sponsor) for the college fest... I mean just tell me if i can do it and are sponsors the ones who funds an act (always?)...

In the place where I am PPL reallllly don't care about software itself!!!! but what about the Wireless connection I did not understan what you meant by "two sites"... I got your fabulous work message I'll upload photos and give a link in the wiki after that!!!! I mean i don't think you are understanding what i said...Look this is my plan 1. first each member will choose 2 inet cafes go to the owner, negotiate about the Thing and put the processes that cater the info on each computer and people who find it interesting can copy a copy by clicking on ok... the copy can also be a harmless and always open source html instead of an exe... or a native chm which is not quite "open"... Got the other message the ethical hacking contest is totally from the college I'm just coding the lan site participants need to hack...and it does not have anything to do with the open letter... the ethical hacking also includes an initial presentation on Hacker culture (the tech savvy trend that started at MIT and Theories of richard Stallman and some cartoons of his!)...

you could make a wireless network between two locations and share irc or video of the two sites. perhaps it could be a community node long term? what do people need where you are?

imagine that someone is doing a windows promotion or a sony cd promotion what kinds of things would you find intrusive if someone did them to you?
making freedom is as much giving the user the feeling that they are in control of their own technology as anything else. start with that thought. you are making them feel empowered. what kinds of actions help them recognise that they are in control and have choice. and can be supported in those choices. some of the things which were popular with kids here were the scratch games which can run on windows but which is openly licensed and the lovely penguin racer which was very popular and we had people queuing to play.
I think its great that youre passionate and thinking differently. There is so much room for fun without making things which are involuntary.

By Giving them an accept/decline button don't you think we are preserving their freedom? It no more becomes a virus the Internet cafe people can be negotiated with to plant a process that caters a copy of the "thing" to every one who plugs in a USB key after asking if they want one.( I mean we can do that on software freedom day in some 20 internet cafe's across India) when the USB buddy goes home and puts the USB on he'll see the best things about software he's ever seen. Think about it how many people can i reach in india in an installfest? If you disagree I'm gonna make the logic bomb into a software that tells people about Free Software and tell them why they need to use free software... and it does not spread people nead to download the software to see the presentation... We'll really make it appealing... But I totally don't think more than 20 people are going to download it (I'm verry friendly and open when i say that..) and you'll have to agree upon that... No freedom cutdown!
Thanx for the fast reply...

Sorry.
why not looking for sponsorship from government, to some extent they have since this is a social event and benefit to mankind. When we get benefits from companies, we may be limited to conditions and I think this day can not condition, because everything must be free and free 100%
