[ilugd] [ANNOUNCE] Freedel 2007
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 ILUG Delhi is proud to announce yet another incarnation of it's annual FLOSS event, Freedel 2007. Book: September 28 and 29 (Friday and Saturday) to be in Delhi and join us for 2 days of FLOSS, fun, feasting and freaking out. Some of the changes you will notice when you join us Freedel this year are: Topic and level driven. All talks and workshops will be categorised into one of the following streams: - - System administration - - Collaboration and Communications - - Scientific and Research Tools - - Native Language Computing - - Legal aspects of FLOSS (licensing, DRM, policy, etc.) - - FLOSS in India, community, etc. Within each stream, all talks and workshops will be categorised by relevance to Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced users of FLOSS. No matter what your experience with FLOSS, there will be something of interest to you. Variety of talks. Freedel 2007 will have a wide range of items on the agenda, including seminar-style talks, BoF sessions, in-depth workshops and panel discussions. Suggestions on items to include in the agenda are always welcome. Community driven. We are actively inviting LUGs and other interested bodies to work with us on Freedel 2007 from Day 1 and become part of a larger effort. Expect a formal announcement for participation soon. New partner. In 2004 it was Jamia Hamdard, in 2005 PHDCCI and in 2006 JNU. Who's the Freedel partner going to be in 2007? Well, I can't tell you just yet, but keep your ears, and eyes and minds open :) We're discussing partnership with an eminent body, and hope to have things finalised by the end of this month.
