Yes, it is a great place to plan upcoming events. It is during one of
the foss meets me and Sooraj planned to conduct SMC camps across
Kerala.
We also had a chamba camp there. We also planned savepoddery.com
campaign last year.

Looking forward to meeting you. Also I look forward to building a team
to run few more communication infra ourselves (we have a diaspora
instance at poddery.com run by our community, I would like email and
email lists added to that - not just Free Software, but beating google
services in features as well. GroupServer.net, mailpile.is and zimbra
looks good to me.)

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights
from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the
rules: laws and constitution.
