Hi All, I'm a student at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani [1]. Our annual technical festival, APOGEE[2] is organised every year in March. Since last year, the institute has invited speakers of international repute during the festival. Jimmy Wales, Dilip Chhabria and John C Mather (2006 Physics Nobel Laureate) were some of the people who spoke last year.
This year, the festival is scheduled from 10th to 14th March, and we are interested in inviting someone to speak about Open Source. Some of the names that we've come up with are: Jono Bacon - Ubuntu Community Manager, Canonical - http://www.jonobacon.org/about/ Mark Shuttleworth - CEO, Canonical - http://www.markshuttleworth.com/ Richard Stallman - http://www.stallman.org/ Eric S Raymond - http://www.catb.org/~esr Blake Ross - http://en.wikipedia.org/Blake_Ross Miguel de Icaza - http://tirania.org/blog/ Matthias Ettrich - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Ettrich Arun Ranganathan - http://arunranga.com/blog/about/ As most of the above do not reside in India, it would be great if we could arrange a tour through the country/places near Delhi or Jaipur. If interested, kindly reply to this mail (with a CC to [email protected]) so that we can get in touch off the list and start working on organizing. :) [1] - http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/ [2] - http://www.bits-apogee.org/ -- Ninad S.
