Subject: The Moblin Contest / and a special Event Invite Date: Thursday 05 Jun 2008 From: "Williams, Valsa"

To all my dear Open Source Friends,

I encourage all of you to register and attend the events marked below, if you are there, or send it to the developers in Chennai & Hyderabad.

More events in other cities in the future, stay tuned :-)

As mentioned to all of you, this is our chance of making Linux & OSS the default platform for the new generation of computing devices

- Mobile Internet Devices, low cost netbooks, sub notebooks etc. These products built by several OEMs will flood the market soon. Asus, HCL, Wipro are excellent examples.

Retail outlets will have them and many sales persons know only Windows!

Some of my friends in Pune went to retail outlets (CROMA) to demonstrate Linux & OSS loaded on Mileap & Asus eeePC to the sales person, who was then convinced & happy :-) :-)

Let's also encourage developers to join the Contest to develop interesting applications for housewives, children, doctors, games, educational software, content, entertainment software etc etc, relevant for our country and for others.

Please do circulate to all. Thanks a ton!
