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...

por que no buscas patrocinio del gobierno, hasta cierto punto a ellos 
les corresponde ya que esto es un acto social y beneficio para la 
humanidad. Cuando obtenemos beneficios de empresas, podemos estar 
limitados a condiciones y creo que este día no podemos condicionarle, 
pues todo debe ser gratuito y libre al 100%
