-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all
I am in India (staying in Gurgaon) for a week meeting some customers, so I logged into the #ubuntu-in channel Saturday night where Pratul (lut4rp) invited me to BarCamp Delhi. http://www.barcampdelhi.com I had a great time and even presented the topic "Why Ubuntu is important for you", many people there knew about Ubuntu already but this also helped them know how to briefly introduce Ubuntu to others. I had great questions from the audience about compatibility, support, pricing, differences with other distros and many people were intrigued about how one can ever make money with FOSS. My presentation is available at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fabi%C3%A1nRodr%C3%ADguez#Presentations Going to such apparently non-technical events is always a blast, many people there were looking for information on how to best start or further develop their small or not so small business ventures, and many were also students aiming (or already in) MBA or similar masters programs. A great audience for Ubuntu but also for FOSS in general. Pratul was a great resource on answering technical questions, even going as far as explaining how this all started (RMS, etc.). I was impressed how he could articulate it all. Sometimes things got a bit confrontational but that's all part of learning how to mix oil & water as someone on IRC compared this meeting of FOSS + business people :) Most of the time when people find out about all the alternatives to what they have been used to, it's pretty scary :) I also happened to have a Dell Mini 9 netbook which I showed around and people were quite intrigued by its small size, speed and low price. I am not sure when it will be available here, but it's now for sale in the US, Europe and LatinAmerica: http://ur1.ca/8mn So don't be surprised if some new people pop up in this list during the next few days. They may have been to BarCamp Delhi :) Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez, Ubuntu Systems Senior Support Analyst Canonical Global Support & Services, Montreal, QC, Canada -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGP/Mime available upon request Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI8uAcfUcTXFrypNURAuqWAKDHzL6fUSTzePVmu6wWA8Iqtgu9+gCfdE97 mfmXwdNf8Bg4RrMXi0qzcd0= =uFZ9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
