There might be few FOSSers who are not Facebook users, they can simply drop in at the event and can send an email on the mailing lists (or contact the organiser, if they didnt get the information on a mailing list) about their participation. Even a tweet works. Thank you for taking the initiative of creating the wiki page. Please do mention on it that the organisers dont refer to it for handling user registrations, so while listing themselves on the page might be a good idea, it will be prudent to register on the facebook event or contact the organiser or gate crash unannounced. -- Kinshuk Sunil +919910024895 -- LUG@IITD - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
