It is once again the time for our annual pilgrimage to Bangalore to participate in foss.in. This time I am more keen than ever because I will be meeting people whom I have not met for years and some whom I have known for eons but never met IRL. The who’s who of Indian FOSS community have promised to be there, though saying “who’s who” after all these years does feel a bit odd cause they have become such dear friends.
Oh yes! If I get time from pretending to be doing useful stuff or attending all the impromptu BoFs I may attend a few talks from the very impressive line up, but as an old man once said it is not so much about the talks but about all the community action which takes place around the venue!
We would also love to meet all of you (you know who you are) not yet confirmed to be there – lets meet up just for old times sake
….and there is one never-met-face-to-face-yet who would also like to meet all 3 of you…
Yes, we will find a way to get away for a while..
Come to Shiok and have dinner with the Sani family. I think they’ll probably be dropping by.
(Last year, the FOSS.IN event was on my birthday, so I wasn’t at work.)
That is indeed a nice idea…. will ask Swati to co-ordinate
I’m feeling dead miserable. The last time I was in B’lore, I’d kept ranting about how I’d be returning in Nov for this. All my plans down the drain with exams playing spoilsport- my Univ exams begin Nov 24th…of all the crazy things in the world to happen!
Sigh! Have fun…
I can really understand how you feel Kadambari….a computer-science course SHOULDN’T have exams starting on the same day as FOSS…in fact they should have an excursion to the event!
“Hail Deponti!”
“Deponti for VC!”
sigh ..
Dunno whether you like memes and stuff but I’ve gone ahead and tagged you anyway. Check my page out and have fun…
All that which people say is wierd about me feels perfectly normal to me…..
Heya. Would like to meet you too.
We would like that as well – YES!!!
