Do pour in your ideas and suggestions as to the contents of the exhibitions and workshops and also as to the different events that can be conducted in addition to the above mentioned ones (as part of Free Software Exhibition).The main motto of this event is to educate the public about Free Software. So we the Free Software Community (not just any specific mailing list, but the entire community) has a great responsibility on our shoulders.
