Worth a special mention, and I will attend.

Via Sasi Kumar:

The Kerala State IT Mission, Society for Alternative Computing and Employment (SPACE) and Free Software Foundation of India are organising the Free Software Free Society Conference, 2008, at Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) during December 9-11 2008. This conference can be seen to be located at the convergence of movements such as Free Software, Free Knowledge (Wikipedia, Open Access), Free Culture (Creative Commons)? and Free Society (Oekonux).

We hope to have some of the leaders of the movements, such as Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen, Jimmy Wales, Michel Bauwens, Stefan Merten, Steven Harnad and others. This is the second such conference to be hosted in Thiruvananthapuram, the first being in May, 2005. You can find more details here. Those who are interested can register after the registration page becomes available soon.”
