We were having our mid-sem break when the ILUG-D meeting took place so the college was totally deserted, there were no students and only few faculty which is why only the coordinators of our LUG attended the meeting. [...] Dear Angad, First of all, it is great to see your enthusiasm, and we all welcome that. I am hopeful that JIIT will come to become as much a part of ILUG-Delhi, and of freed.in as RKGIT, Ghaziabad is. If you will excuse my being frank, the difference is that a large contingent from RKGIT has been pro-active in their involvement with ILUG-Delhi. Thus, while the JIIT setup looks encouraging, I would still think that it makes sense to take things a step at a time. For Freed 2008, given the short amount of time left, the best that we can do is a one-day satellite conference for developers, aimed at students new to FOSS development Even this will take a lot of effort from all our sides, so that we need to start discussing this now. For example, we would need to discuss accommodation for speakers the night before the satellite conference, and transportation to and from the main venue at JNU. Let us start by planning a presentation from your side at the next ILUG-Delhi meeting (we are hoping to hold one this Sun., 11/10, and will announce it shortly). The presentation should cover what all JIIT can provide in terms of facilities, and logistics. It would also be good if you could get students from JIIT to attend. After that, if we decide to go forward, we can set up a meeting with your faculty. Does this sound good? Can you prepare such a presentation (does not have to be slick, but just covering all points above, and the ones addressed in your earlier mail) by this Sun.?

[ilugd] Google's Open Source Mobile Platform
Hi all, Google's Open Source Mobile Platform : As expected, today Google took the wraps off of the gPhone (as the media have for months been referring to the rumored project). Google is leading a broad industry alliance to transform mobile phones into powerful mobile computers, and will be licensing its software to all comers on an open source basis under the Apache license. (The Wall Street Journal's Ben Worthen demonstrates a miserable grasp of what open source means.) Google's US partners include Nextel and Sprint, but not ATT nor Verizon. Phones will be available in the second half of 2008 — not the spring as earlier reports had speculated. News.com's analysis warns that Google won't take over the mobile market overnight, though they quote Forrester in the opinion that Google may be one of the three biggest mobile players after several years of shakeout.

The city and date for the next FossConf will be announced at the end of the previous FossConf. However, regardless of where and when it is held, the scope of the conference - newcomers to foss, new speakers, new contributors - in short 'Foss for the common man', will not change.
