hi, This is amazing. We have three major events in Feb alone that are focussed on free software and open source: freed.in (delhi), fossconf (chennai) and open source india week (Blore, Delhi and Mumbai).
And then there's one in Pune too...so a total of four! (Hope to see more details about that one, soon) A silly idea: next year, let's brand Feb as open source india month and create it to the be top season for international speakers, media, indian firms, customers, community, etc to get together and help plan the next (financial) year's mile-stones and agenda. I am not suggesting that all events are managed by one group, but that if all events synchronised with one another, perhaps we could make an even bigger impact. Overall, it feels great to see a lot happen in this space. best wishes! rahul chopra, linux for you www.osiweek.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kenneth Gonsalves Sent: 23 January 2008 10:42 To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list; India GNU/Linux Users Group Mumbai Subject: [ilugd] fossconf update hi, just an update on fossconf chennai - we have a good list of speakers - most of them new and speaking for the first time. We have also been able to attract quite a few people from academia. Also a few student groups doing their projects in foss. So we have around 70 good talks - now let us hope we get a good audience to listen to these talks ;-) The talk list is here: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/talks/ -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
