1st day at foss.in 2008

1st day at foss.in 2008 was cool. This time foss.in has given focus on workouts and not just giving tutorial kind of seminars…

The amount of community socializing that happens during FOSS.IN has to be experienced to be believed. People meeting people, discussing FOSS deployments, hatching plans for world domination… etc etc etc

Today i met few guys from sun, adobe, IBM.  We had just small talks on general FOSS ideas, but not in detail about any project or any ideas..

My plan was to meet and talk atleast more than 10 people who actually contributes to FOSS community and learn something from them. But today i was not able to make it as i dont want to miss todays talks.

Talks i attended today

How to do embedded Linux right
Creating Language Support Architecture (i18n) For A New Language On Desktop
