Hi,
We had a woderful Software Freedom Day in Bangalore and I would like to thank all who helped in making this event a grand success. Also cheers to Hiran, Pavithran and all others who helped make this event a great success not just in bangalore but all over India.
"This year they had shortlisted some colleges in Bangalore and our dear
BMSCE was a part of it.But it so happened that the coordinators for our College backed out from conducting the event in our college thinking that the response will be bad.And many thanks to Ram , an active member of FOSS.in, me and my friends Sharadha,Shilpa, Nandini and Ganga took up the initiative and oragnised the entire thingie in good 6 hours yesterday.Somephone calls and the event was finalised ."
"Yesterday whole night me and my friends were hoping that people will turn
up and make the event a huge success. And it happened !!!"

"We reached BMS at around 9:15 AM to see the Audi filled with Praveen, Dilip
and myself only. Ahem… It was 9:30 and lo behold!!! The AUDI was jam packed with people not having place to sit and extra chairs been roped in. Great!!! 350 people packed in a 300 capacity audi!! "

" About 60 people stayed back and we splitted into 4 groups and addressed
their doubts and asked about their interest areas. Me and Dilip took charge of one group and we had a very interesting discussion. Other three groups were handled bu Aanjhan, Srikanth and Dinesh. We had to leave the hall only because they had to close the hall and we left the campus becuase it was already 1 30 and all of us were started feeling hungry."

"Audience participation was good and there were some interesting questions.
ESR's `Cathedral and the Bazaar' came into the discussion and was soon being twisted out of shape (sample: whether you would like to enter a Cathedral or a Baazar? Cathedral is more solid, peaceful - but it alienates you; Baazar is more `inclusive', you become part of it)!"
