Anyone here who can spare a little time (less than a few hours a week, typically) is invited to help us out by volunteering as a mentor.

Lets plan a meeting for Fedora India Ambassadors and do some talk about freemedia Siddharth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: gopal das Date: Mar 20, 2008 12:32 PM Subject: Re: Need to do something about Freemedia India. To: For discussions about marketing and expanding the Fedora user base Cc: Fedora Project Thank you Susmith, thank you Siddharth. "Blank media and return envelop" idea is good. We can make a decision if we make us available for a meeting in near future at fedora-india irc. A long gap when we do not arrange a meeting. And I also have some topic to discuss regarding some fedora training program at schools. I have already started some initiative regarding this but I like to discuss the matter with other Indian ambassadors. So please fix up a date for a meeting so that we can made it more prominent.
