Yes, it is a great place to plan upcoming events. It is during one of the foss meets me and Sooraj planned to conduct SMC camps across Kerala. We also had a chamba camp there. We also planned savepoddery.com campaign last year. > > This year's FOSSMeet is going to be held from 14th to 16th of February at > NIT Calicut. I will be presenting a session on Drupal on the 15th.

Looking forward to meeting you. Also I look forward to building a team to run few more communication infra ourselves (we have a diaspora instance at poddery.com run by our community, I would like email and email lists added to that - not just Free Software, but beating google services in features as well. GroupServer.net, mailpile.is and zimbra looks good to me.) -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- -- "Freedom is the only law".
