We already put it on the Upcoming Event section on the main page:

http://linuxchix.org.in/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Upcoming_Events_of_Interest

Additional mail to the plug would be good too :-)

The talk (~10 minutes at the start of the bof session) extract  is similar to what ankita is 
planning for FOSSKriti:

"This talk will focus on the current status of the group and strategy for the year and information 
on how and where you can participate and contribute."

For the bof session, I am expecting that we might have to take questions. Alongwith that I suggest,

1. that we can take forward the topics discussed in the last meeting 
(http://linuxchix.org.in/wiki/index.php/CityMeetPune_20080112),
2. highlight volunteering opportunities listed in the volunteering section and discuss about doable 
projects
3. list out items that we can implement (like the event suggestion at Abeda Inamdar Girls college),
4. <any other topics>

Perhaps we can add to this..

regards
Runa
