FOSS.IN 2008 and posters!

The D-Day is fast approaching.. FOSS.IN-2008 is all set to begin on November 25th with keynote from noted linux hacker - Harald Welte. The detailed schedule is out as well.

Foss.in is very special to us as it also marks the anniversary of kde.in. My hearty congratulations to one and all involved in upbringing kde.in.

And to celebrate this with pride, our own Kamaleshwar Morjwal has gifted us with stunning posters depicting pillars of KDE. [You rock Kamaleshwar!] Here is one of my favorite.

You can find the other splendid posters done by Kamaleshwar here. For a sneak peak you can also look at Pradeepto's blog.

Ironically, this is going to be my first ever foss.in even though I am residing in Bangalore for the last 14 years and given that IISC is only about 25 km from my house!!
Sadly I am not 100% sure of attending this event completely either due to another college commitment(research project presentation) which is scheduled during same occasion as of foss.in in Hyderabad. This is probably heights of being unlucky and lucky at the same time.

I am really thrilled to experience the atmosphere of huge foss event. I hope to make it on the first day atleast, especially to the "excited states of plasma" workout.
