#1. I did not mention `microsoft' or `propreitary' anywhere.
And I don't think ILUGC should take a stand _AGAINST_ proprietary
software. We can recommend Free Software but cannot condemn non-free
software.
#2. What I had intended was that the by doing `walks' it somehow takes a
political turn of events.
I'm with Prashanth on this one. An electronic campaign (than a
physical one) will have a better impact on the IT crowd.
If you want a physical campaign, it should be targetted at the
colleges and schools. Maybe a walk _INSIDE_ IIT and then moving to
Anna University ?
