FOSS events are great way to meet new and

events are actually FOSS developers or enthusiasts .
Unless the wrinkles in the FOS software are ironed out, promotional
events will not achieve their required goals. For eg. Ubuntu was one
software that brought people closer to Debian. With the new unstable
versions of Ubuntu 'stable', users will get hassled by it. Accounting,
Multi-Media, CAD are still grey areas that require attention.
the whole idea of FOSS events is that we can meet each other and put faces to
names - which brings me to the big question: why are you always missing when I
come to Mumbai?
