Hello, 304+ images Thanks and congrats to you guys for organizing this. Also the participants were told about adding Category:Ahmedabad_1 to their images, there were quite a few who didn't add the categories. Thus a mess could have been created, but User:Me.aragorn and myself started adding relevant category by keeping an eye on newly uploaded files.

238 images for a Single Day event, not contest is splendid indeed. And if the figure is still increasing, then you guys deserve a round of applause. Congrats, especially Noopur.

Hello all :) I have finally summoned the courage to go and check what my volunteers have done. It's delightful to see that they've followed our instructions and given their best. You guys should have seen how motivated they were and how much fun we had! I wish there was someone permanently available to keep the Ahmedabad community going. I hope to plan something similar for Delhi and kickstart our SIG activities there. All your inputs, suggestions, corrections are welcome. :) Warmly Noopur On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 6:49 AM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan parakara.gh...@gmail.com wrote: Hisham, thank you for reminding me.

Arguable. The sentence is too imprecise. - Camera firmware isn't FOSS. Yes, and cameras have not essentially changed in well over 100 years. They went digital, but all that happened was the recording medium changed. With the simple pinhole, it is perfectly possible to have software driven lensless, infinitely variable depth of field and focus image recording. Find me one commercial model camera that does this, and I can show you dozens of advertising messages that equate good imaging with megapixels. - Our brain doesn't have FOSS. Can we stick to the point? I do not think anybody on this list is actively aware of any programming techniques that work for the brain; the question or proprietary or FOSS doesn't even arise. However, if you want to include alpha wave conditioning (analogue programming) then surely you will not want to also claim that yoga is proprietary? - Bus ticketing isn't FOSS. A terrible shame. Bus companies (indeed, all mass transit organisations) are largely stuck in the past, their inefficiency mandates that the purpose of public mass transport is a #fail, either because the service providers cannot earn money doing it, or because individual means of public transportation do not 'talk' to each other, their communication channels being trapped within proprietary silos, leaving the public floundering with the need to carry small change and waste time buying multiple tickets to get from A to B. And the few reasonably successfully integrated public mass transit setups that exist anywhere in the world (eg, London) use proprietary software that does not replicate or scale to other places. Well, Mediawiki and whole lot of other things used for Wikipedia related activities are FOSS. And in general, it is about contributing back to the society so that everybody gets benefitted.
