Hi All, FOSS.in (http://foss.in) is a premier annual foss event that happens in India. The event format this year includes project days(mini-conf to get more developers/contributors) & conference days(various talks/sessions).
It is with pleasure that I bring it to notice that a proposal to host "Opensolaris/Belenix/Indiana" project day has been accepted to be part of foss.in/2007. The accepted proposal is available at http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=foss2007 The intention of project days (http://foss.in/2007/info/Project_Days) is to enable people to get involved the the project and be able to contribute. The CFP (Call for Proposal) of foss.in is expected to be out this week and will include the project day sessions as well. If you wish to participate as a speaker or if you have an suggestions, we would love to hear from you. If you are traveling to this part of the world, do consider accommodating the conference days in your travel plans (I should add that the conference itself is is an excellent one and is worth travelling to from any part of the world :) Will announce the CFP on these lists once it is available. Interested speakers are to respond to the CFP. Thanks for your attention and looking forward to meet some of you ! best regards Shiv ========================= Event : FOSS.in/2007 Dates: 4-8 Dec, 2007 Place: Bangalore, India ========================= ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Atul Chitnis Date: Sep 5, 2007 10:42 AM Subject: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions To: "FOSS.IN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All: Here are the selected Project Days sessions, in alphabetical order: * Debian/Ubuntu * Fedora * Gnome * IndLinux * KDE * Mozilla * OpenOffice.org * OpenSolaris These eight Project Days sessions will be part of the CfP that will be published next week, and people will be able to submit talk proposals for each of them (and the Main conference, of course). Congrats to the eight projects, and my sympathies as well - having been selected, you now carry the burden of ensuring that you produce many Indian contributors. That means that your sessions have to be structured in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and the take the elevator up :) A reminder as well: if you are unable to get credible subsessions (talks and workshops) together through the CfP, you *may* face dropping. The same applies to the nature of the subsessions - if they are not contributor oriented (just user oriented) or if we find that the majority of subsessions are by people from a single commercial organisation, we will reconsider your selection. Remember that to us, the usefulness to the audiences (to bootstrap them into becoming contributors) and the quality of the subsessions comes first. So make sure that you get it right, in line with your accepted PD proposal. That completes phase 1 of the process - next is the Call for Participation, that will go out next week, after Team FOSS.IN meets this Sunday. Cheerio! Atul -- F O S S .
