What:OpenTech 2004, August 2004
When:Fri, Aug 13, 2004 - 02:00PM
Where:Singhania Auditorium, PHD Chambers, Siri Fort
Contact:Rahul Chopra
Category:Upcoming/Recent Events
Titled--OpenTech August 2004, this event is planned to be a periodic one, where users
from the industry (like our very own Sudev "ji") will present the pro (and cons) of
adopting Linux. In addition, there will be a panel that will attempt to address all
queries of the attendees and dispel the myths related to GNU/Linux/OSS--a theme
suggested by Kishore "ji" :-)
I am pasting details of this event below, in text format to give you a clearer
picture. The registration so far has crossed 150, and thus there are probably only
10-20 seats left. Please note that preference is being given to participants from the
industry, keeping the goal of the event in mind. Oh! the entry is FREE subject to
approval of registration.
Feel free to register yourself at www.linuxforu.com/opentech/register/
Hope to see you there...
Best Wishes!
Rahul Chopra

7 Reasons Why 90% Of Invitees Will Not Attend This Event
---------------------------------------------------------
#1: It’s all Linux and Open Source: This is all cheap stuff. Ok, maybe it’s even
better technology and more stable platform, but who cares. Would rather spend time on
a technical training session explaining how the next revolutionary proprietary OS will
help our organisation maximise our
potential in the year 2006 (or whenever it is launched).
#2: It’s for FREE: A free seminar??? Guess they don’t have content or will only
talk about vendor products…errr…but they do seem to have speakers from the general
industry who are using Linux/OSS …guess the organisers are being funded by the
Indian government. Rule of thumb—if it’s free, it ain’t worth it—right?
#3: It’s Only for 3 Hours: A three hour seminar for explaining Linux! That’s too
less of a time. Aren’t we all used to spending a whole day or even 2 to 3 days
listening to various speakers talk about one topic (which generally is their own
company and its products)—then how can OpenTech think of discussing Linux/OSS usage
in three hours? I tell you these organisers are crazy.
#4: No Chief Guests: Oh God! Is that true? A seminar with no chief guests and no
keynote speakers! Don’t we all love those long-winded speeches, and those motivating
words? One may not be able to reach any decision but then who wants to attend an event
where everyone is as good we are.
#5: No speakers from mega brands: They don’t even have the usual list of speakers
that are there for every Linux seminar. Aren’t we all habituated to
that nice smooth flow of words that are repeated in every Linux seminar? Who wants to
break such a nice habit—not me at least.
#6: No Lavish Buffets: How can they do this? Have a seminar but no food! Don’t the
organisers have any idea of the toll that three hours of an
interactive session has on one’s hunger pit?
#7: No Drinks: That does it. Could have sacrificed everything else but no
drinks—that takes the cake. These organisers seem to think that people
attend a seminar for its content—time for them to wake up and smell the lure of a
Bacardi!
============================================================================
======================================
No Exotic Drinks, No Elaborate Buffet…
…Only Serious Discussions On Linux, Open Source & Business
OPENTech Aug 04
13th August 2004, PHD Chambers, Auditorium, Siri Fort, New Delhi.
Set in a serious tone, this event is for those who prefer content over hype.
Users from different industry verticals will share their experiences with
Linux/OSS and provide you with tips and pros-and-cons for thinking Linux.
Their sessions will be followed by a Q&A session, where the speakers and
members from the Linux industry will get together to reply to your queries
and clarify your doubts.
Some of our colleagues who attend seminars for the lure of food and
drinks--will be disappointed by this event because all that will accompany
the serious talks on Linux/OSS will probably be samosas, cold drinks and
chance to network with like-minded people.
TIMINGS: Visitor Registration: 2:30 pm; Seminar: 3 pm to 6 pm
LINUX For You and Tetra Info are organizing this event in an effort to raise
the awareness about Linux in the industry. The registration fee is NIL, but
owing to limited seating capacity of the auditorium you are advised to
confirm your registration at the earliest.

Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
-------------------------------------------------
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs to offices. To
achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to reduce the pricing of the main
magazine so that those who were not technical but curious about Linux/OSS could access
the information. Hence, LINUX For You's main magazine was created as a magazine for
everyone to read.
At the same time, the demand from the tech community was clear -- they needed
technical content along with CDs that bundled the latest software and distros. Hence,
the combined pack of LINUX For You and LFY PRO and the two CDs is now available at Rs
100!
For more details about LINUX For You magazine, log on to www.linuxforu.com or email at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the information contained
in Asia's only magazine on Linux and open source, and we hope that it will be taken
positively....
