It will consist of following
1. First 15 minutes on Linux and how its developed and distributed.
2. Nest 30 minutes on Ubuntu , Mark Shuttleworth, Launchpad(LP).
3. Next 1h15min on the problem Indian ubuntu users face.The problems that will be addressed in this session will be:
a. Lack of fast Internet Connection so need to provide some way to upgrade ubuntu in offline mode.
b. How to create LP accounts and report bugs.
c. Women Indian Ubuntu developers.( THIS WAS POINTED OUT BY "Myriatti" IN #ubuntu-offtopic CHANNEL)
d. Motivating developers to form a team to create Ubuntu-India distro so that the propreitary packages which are not in the original ubuntu distro but is legal in India to be freely distributed can be included ( thats a step towards solving the problem the guy faced when installing ubuntu in a remote village of Karnataka ).
e. Topics to be taken in the next meeting.
