issues, to the extent possible.

GNU/Linux Habba was started in Bangalore with its first edition in April
2008 by volunteers of Sampada Community (http://sampada.net) to not only
spread the word about free software, but also to introduce GNU/Linux to
the non-technical computer users. The first edition organized at Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore received tremendous response with more
than 377 registrations running up to the event. Many participants
installed GNU/Linux on their Desktops/Laptops and learnt how to use
Kannada on it. From NGOs to Public sector officials keen to learn more
about GNU/Linux - many people participated in the event. Following the
success of the first edition, the group of volunteers behind the event
decided to extend the festival to other cities in Karnataka, starting
with Mysore. The second edition of GNU/Linux Habba (http://habba.in) was
held on 21st September, 2008 at Physics Department, University of
Mysore. Following the overwhelming response to the event, we have
decided to enable users to work with Gnu/Linux at Mangalore.
