Dear Jonas,

While you are sharing, why don't you share the freedombox concept. You 
could share the concept now and when you come down, you could share the 
implementation and till where you are with it when you are in Delhi. 
That might be useful for hamara.

At the very least share the concept. I would just say it is an idea 
which came from Mr. Eben Moglen in one of his talks some years ago.
