1. While not opposing proprietory software, we can hold banners against
software piracy. Promote honesty among software users. If all the
proprietory
software being used are forced to be paid for, I am sure many of the users
will consider open source alternatives.
2. Distribute CDs containing Windows versions of Open Source alternatives.
A
CD containing Firefox, Open Office, Gaim, Thunderbird etc can be prepared
and
distributed during the walk.
hour time (8 am) and target the office/college going public. On a sunday
as
pointed out we might not reach the target audience.
4. A walk from Guindy railway station to Gandhi Mandapam will cover a lot
of
ground. Office workers commuting to Tidal Park and beyond, Students going
to
Anna University campuses, government employees going to Anna Salai and
beyond
would be potential spectators for the walk.
Count me in for such a walk in any form. It is a great exercise and
improves
digestion :-).
Having benefitted so much from open source software and not having
contributed
back in equal measure I feel a personal obligation to participate in such
events.
Best regards,
Ma Sivakumar
