FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4362 of 5723 |
All:

Here are the selected Project Days sessions, in alphabetical order:

* Debian/Ubuntu
* Fedora
* Gnome
* IndLinux
* KDE
* Mozilla
* OpenOffice.org
* OpenSolaris

These eight Project Days sessions will be part of the CfP that will be
published next week, and people will be able to submit talk proposals for
each of them (and the Main conference, of course).

Congrats to the eight projects, and my sympathies as well - having been
selected, you now carry the burden of ensuring that you produce many
Indian contributors. That means that your sessions have to be structured
in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and
the take the elevator up :)

A reminder as well: if you are unable to get credible subsessions (talks
and workshops) together through the CfP, you *may* face dropping. The
same applies to the nature of the subsessions - if they are not
contributor oriented (just user oriented) or if we find that the majority
of subsessions are by people from a single commercial organisation, we
will reconsider your selection.

Remember that to us, the usefulness to the audiences (to bootstrap them
into becoming contributors) and the quality of the subsessions comes
first.

So make sure that you get it right, in line with your accepted PD
proposal.

That completes phase 1 of the process - next is the Call for
Participation, that will go out next week, after Team FOSS.IN meets this
Sunday.

Cheerio!

Atul
