As a convener of the conference, I can assure you that the list members
will
enjoy the full day. We do have very eminent speakers, the schedule is now
updated with some more details:
http://zope.hbcse.tifr.res.in:9673/SELF/conf_schedule.. TIFR and HBCSE
are
already spending lots of resources, and we also got support from sponsors.
That is the only reason why the amount is only Rs. 200/-. And every
registered participant will also get a DVD with lots of freeknowledge and
a
snapshot of the gnowledge.org portal. This event is already heavily
subsidized. I have no issues to waive registration fee completely for the
members of this list, if some sponser comes forward to compensate
this. If
there is any possibility I will try my best. This is an event of HBCSE,
which supported and sponsored several meetings of GLUG, and this list
since
its inception, and will continue to do so in future.
Meanwhile, please do come for this event in large numbers, Each one bring
one, and make this movement a success. Also ask your friends in Puna and
Nashik and nearby places also to join.
i think that is the final word on the subject :-) i guess we ought to come
as the event does support the FLOSS/FOSS philosophy, moreover a meet during
a conference with such distinguished speakers does seem to be a very good
idea.
