HI K Sitt,

For the Team Ubuntu group of Singapore, look here: http://ubuntu.sg/. Scroll
down the page on the right side for a registration link under the "Meta"
heading. Perhaps you have already found this, as you are on the mailing
list.

For meeting other Linux and FOSS users, check out the Singapore Linux Meetup
Group (SLMG): http://linux.meetup.com/5/. We would be happy to have you join
us.

At lot of this conversation is being generated by our preparations for
Software Freedom Day 2008.
The main site: http://softwarefreedomday.org/
The Singapore site being worked on by SLMG: http://softwarefreedomday.sg/
Dang Thanh Son is working on an SFD event at NUS:

I would tend to agree with one caveat. An "ND" (No Derivative works) makes
sense for something like a logo or trademark that identifies a group.
Allowing derivative works could lead to confusion.

Just my $0.02.
