[advocacy-discuss] [ug-mmosug] Proposal for merger of muosug and mmosug

[Kumar Abhishek]

July 20th sounds perfect. I will anyways proceed with planning the  
Mumbai OSUG activities for the month as governece of the gruop does  
not affect that.

Regarding Mumbai University OSUG things seems to have been set  
straight :) Thanks for that. We hope to soon have huge participation  
in Mumbai OSUG.

Thanks and regards,


Kumar Abhishek
