Okay.. I agree with this one.. I haven't really seen much of fedora in
Mags etc.. But that's in India, can ambassadors from other countries
please fill in about this?

Regarding the OSUMS, Atleast what we have here at MIT Manipal is pretty
much a waste. They've conducted no workshops etc at all of importance.
The LUG here is more active than the SUN club.. If some sort of
University interaction is planned, we need to make sure it doesn't go
down the drain..
