Hi, I would like to propose a 1 or 2-hour roundtable panel discussion about the state of FOSS in India today. It has been almost 10 years since the founding of...

Of course this panel can only happen if Raju and Arun confirm that they are coming, otherwise it is pretty pointless. We tracked down KD and he will come. Atul...
