the way i see it, the following points are relevant ::

[1] whether for GNU/Linux Asia 2004 there will be a charge for the
stall. if yes, then who is going to bear it/sponsor it ?

[2] do we have the footsoldiers at Delhi for this ?

[3] do we have demo/publicity material at hand ?

[4] what are we aiming at ?

perhaps i could talk to Mayank Sharma from EFY and Raj Mathur as a
preliminary initiative - is that a good idea ?

cheers
sankarshan

ps:: sdg, you are not (i suppose) attending the show, right ?
