+Following Topics discussed related to the outreach activities of FSUG-TVM:
+
+## Website
+
+It would be nice to have a proper website for FSUG.
+
+- So that our activities can be archived properly in a forum. Our achievements can be
+recorded, and the website can be used for outreach activities.
+- An FAQ section in the website can be maintained to address the newbie questions
+about FOSS.
+- A Ticketing in website will be useful in giving help to new memebers of the group.
+Today, all the knowledge we generate as part of team work is lost in the chatrooms/groups.
+- Events can be communicated to the public more effectively.
+
+Aswin will enquire the possibility of College of engineering giving FSUG a server to
+host the said website.
+
+## Events
+
+We should be able to hold events periodically and make record of them so that we can
+document our work. New members people will know we have an active group.
+
+It would be nice if we can have atleast one event per month. on a fixed day, like first
+sunday for example.
+
+Following ideas were proposed for events. Feasibility has to be discussed by the community.
+
+- Good quality Training classes on various topics. This can be a paid event. We can generate
+fund for activities of FSUG like this. 
+- GIT classes can be handled by Aswin / Gokul
+- Talks / Discussions about freedom and open source
+- Exibit gaming capability of Linux
+- Exhibit examples of open hardware.
+- Conduct Install fest
+- Conduct surveys - for the community to understand one on one, how much people know/care
+about FOSS, and as an opportunity to spread the word and invite people to the group.
+
+Also, the survey data can be analysed and used later on. Related to this, it was observed,
+that the existing pamphlet we have on FOSS, even though good, needs to be redone to a
+format where the message is quickly delivered.
