it sounds interesting and 99% it would be on their section.So guys how do I
go further abt it and what are the exxact details that i give.
Great going. But as far as I know for anything to catch Media
attention it should be a *gossip* ;-) or a personality or something
crazy happening around. One thing to catch the media attention without
actually inviting the folks would be dress like a Tux or a GNU and
stand in front of Spencer Plaza and give pamphlets and shake hands
with all the people who enter that day... <Idea hijacked from another
Free Software Users Group> Or may be dress like that and keep walking
on Pondy Bazaar or Mount Road wishing everyday 'Happy Software Freedom
Day' It will grab the attention of the onlookers and the MEDIA for
sure. and they will start writing about Free Software automatically.
Inviting Media has not worked till date. May be you can turn it
around. :-) Give her the chennailug.org website and you pick up the
best of the events conducted and let her know. To know more about SFD
its there on
http://softwarefreedomday.org/
