Days 1 & 2 at foss.in 2007

I’m in Bangalore for foss.in. Its the second day now, of the 2-day project days (think of this as linux.conf.au MiniConfs).

Yesterday, my agenda was around the Mozilla Day – spent most of the morning, listening to Mozilla-related extension talks. I ran away the moment they talked about accessibility and localisation, and spent some time in the Hack Centre, which was just tables, chairs, WiFi and good hacking :) Then hopped into the GNOME project day, to listen to Ritesh Khadgaray tell us about how to hunt bugs. I continued spending the rest of my day there, for what its worth.

Dinner, at MG Road. Wonder if there are other locations to eat? I mean, I’ve extensively walked around the MG Road area, around Brigade Road, Church St, and so on.

Today, I’m going to jump between the OpenOffice.org and Fedora project days, both of which are projects close to my heart.

Of the 2,700+ registered jokers, the project days certainly seem a lot smaller than I’d have expected… Under-1000 attendees maybe? I guess this will pick up certainly during the main conference.

WiFi works wonderfully well at the conference. I’m actually shocked! Has to be one of the few conferences that have got Internet access working. Maybe I should knock wood in case this disappears soon…
