Remain cool after reading this... :-)

I have several doubts and questions about FM.  Are they working group
members of FSF India? Is FM to be considered an initiative of FSF
India or Amol?  Is this initiative private or community initiative.
Can a coordinator consider inducting someone without consulting with
fm-core?  If that be the status of fm-core I am out of this fm-core.
Please clarify the scope of this group.  

What Atul did to promote FSF India?  He is an advocate of open source
to the best of my knowledge.  Quite unlike Raju Mathur who is a
promoter of software freedom without being a promoteer of open source
movement, though he also denies to call the system GNU/Linux.  Every
one who claims to be promoting software freedom cannot be considered
here for obvious reasons of anti GNU sentiments expressed by them.
What use promoting software freedom if they oppose GNU vocally.  Go
and read at his website where he lists reasons as to why the system
should not be called GNU/Linux?  They think that FSF asks the system
to be called GNU/Linux because of the ego problems of RMS.

Dont consider all these question against any one individual.  This is
intended as brain-storming to decide and understand who we are, and
what is our agenda etc.
