| there has to be a justified reason , purpose and need for it to happen
...
| not just like a fun fair .... i mean AGENDA... what do u want to
showcase /
| address some problems... can u really showcase or address that issue ...
Can site at least few reasons. I might be wrong :)
1. Commercial point of view -
Spreading linux awareness amongst companies. In my current organisation,
I asked my boss if I could use Linux as my desktop. The answer was a
straight away "why do u need Linux ? ". And the company spends so much
time and resources on windows patches and security alerts just because
everybody is running windoze.
2. Programmers perspective -
clearly Bangalore and Hyd are ahead of Mumbai in technology race. In
such
a situation ppl from Mumbai have to shift to Blr and Hyd for better
career prospects. While I do appreciate growth of Blr and Hyd, I do not
see any reason why Mumbai should be left out of the race. Holding such
events will definately foster technical growth in Mumbai.
3. End user perspective -
Mumbai with all its banks and financial institutions is financial
capital
of the country and a promising market.
4. Maybe even govt. agencies can benifit ( if they find time from the
various scams :) )
