hi Anivar,
Wikipedians like us call it the Open Source Movement. Since, we're all on the Wikipedia list, the acronym is acceptable. We don't have to adjust for the FOSS guys and be specific. Please understand and adjust. Just feel that your email was not needed. I know you had good intentions and I'm assuming WP:AGF.

Dear Sudhanwa,
My sincerest appologies. In my effort to be transparent, I made a mistake. In the report, attribution by name will not occur.
Thank you for answering the chapter question.
OSM = open source movement. Thanks for your clarification.
For FOSS guys like us these are the meanings of following acronyms
FSM = Free Software Movement OSM= Open Street Maps

Best,

Dear Tory, It was really nice to meet you again and have some discussions.
I am not sure what is the context you are referring in those lines in the mail. I am very much part of Pune community. and no way related to OSM (open street maps) All of us mentioned are India chapter members. Ashwin is the first member of the chapter !!! and I also happen to be on the India chapter EC. (apart from WMF GAC where I am not so active)
One of the members wanted anonymity that you maintained during last visit and was expected this time also. Somehow, that has not happened.
Anyways, Keep up the good work. Will like to see your report soon.
Best regards, -Sudhanwa
