FOSS.IN is one of the largest conferences of its kind in the world. “This is an event for the community, by the community”. The event started in 2001 and today 30% of the attendees are outside of Bangalore.
There’s no keynote speaker at FOSS.IN. Instead, there’s a sampling of attendees (7) that are called up onto stage. Each of them will share the lighting of the traditional Diya to mark the inauguration of this year’s FOSS.IN
I will be heading to Bangalore Thursday to attend the FOSS.IN event this coming weekend. FOSS.IN is the largest FOSS event in the world. I’m very excited to attend this event and meet people heavily involved in the open source movement. I am not sure if there will be an opportunity to blog directly from the event but I’m hoping that there will be some kind of wireless connectivity at the event. If there’s no connectivity, I’ll try my luck at mobil blogging using my Nokia E61, assuming the EDGE service works in Bangalore.
It’s pretty weird having gotten used to WiFi Internet connectivity at most Starbucks around NYC and here in Delhi, WiFi is a major luxury at home. In public spaces, I haven’t found a single HotSpot to connect up to.
Here are some random pictures of sights in Delhi taken with a Motorola SLVR L7.
