Hi Dominick,
 
Welcome to Bangalore. Hope you are enjoying the city's weather.
Yes, I am! Thanks. The slow traffic is annoying me though!
 
I agree with you that the community is less active. I too would like to make some good fnds and learn more about open source.

This is not an open source community Manjunath. We must clearly understand the difference between free software and open source software. I'm not sure if open source is offtopic on this mailing list. The seniors will tell us though. Here are a couple of links you might want to read:

I am planning to attend foss.in but I cant confirm it as of now.

I understand it is too early to give an RSVP.

I'm looking forward for a casual meet over a weekend. I'll start a separate topic for the same.

Cheers,
Dominick
