FOSS.IN/2008: Event Announcement   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >
Reply | Forward < Prev Message  | 
Happy Indian Independence Day, everyone!

Team FOSS.IN is happy to announce that this year's edition of Asia's
biggest Free and Open Source Software contributor conference will be held
on November 25th to 29th, 2008, at the National Science Symposium Centre,
of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.

As always, this event is focused on actual contribution to FOSS projects,
not evangelism or advocacy, in line with the event motto

"Talk is cheap - show me the code"

The conference website at http://foss.in will have all the information
you will need about the event, including the Call for Participation,
schedules, speaker, volunteer and delegate registration, etc. The website
is currently being populated, and will be opened over the next couple of
days.

To stay informed about the event and to participate in the discussions
about it, subscribe to the event mailing list at http://foss.in/list,
follow the FOSS.IN Twitter account at http://twitter.com/fossdotin,
subscribe to the website's RSS feed at http://foss.in/feed, or simply keep
an eye on the website at http://foss.in

Cheerio!
