well, the BOF was a resounding success with participants from as far away as Kenya and Finnland (no, not the guy who comes to mind). There were animated discussions on topics like how apple and nokia are taking the finnish people for a ride, on the new 3300 rupee iphone demoed at the meet, on getting static IP working, on FOSS in university education - and of course, a lot of stories. Unfortunately there was no time to discuss top posting ;-) Statistics - 60% of the participants were 'old', 100% of the 'old' people have not retired and are still active in fossing. 60% of the participants were non-local. And a good proportion of the gathering was from outside the country. Thanks to the management and staff of pad.ma for the arrangements and excellent coffee - no, we were having too good a time to watch a movie. Maybe next time. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
