Dear All,

This time we are coming back for 2 days. And we are coming back as "FOSS 2008" which is little closer to what we believe in - "Free as in freedom". We wish to make the coming generation prepare for the freedom in Open Source. We wish to cover most of the aspect of Open Source and make people aware of it, use it, get benefit from it, and even contribute back to the community if possible.

We are planning for "FOSS 2008" at Manipur University, Canchipur, from 31st of March to 1st April. We are making it FREE REGISTRATION, NO ADMISSION FEES this time too. Some of us are pooling in money, but that comes to about only 20% of the expenses we will be meeting. WE NEED HELP.

This time we are NOT sending personal email to friends seeking for contribution (like we did last time). We are shooting one single mail to our own yahoo group mailing list and this posting at e-pao, and that's it.

It is a long journey. But, we are very sure all of you are also with us somewhere in the shadow. We need you for the grand success of the event. We need you to help us in helping the people in Manipur. After all, our own people are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Big or small, if you can help us, if you can contribute money for the event, please email to the mail ids below.
