Open Source India Week

Hardly a week is left when India will once again witness the force of open source revolution in different cities. Rechristened as Open Source India Week, the LinuxAsia event is living up to its new name. A week-long event will span across three cities -- Bengaluru (11-12 February), Mumbai (13 February) and Delhi (14-15 February 2008). The feeling of being one large community with a common goal is the basis of the movement. Keeping up with the philosophy, organizers of the event have announced that they are releasing 500 entry tickets (worth Rs 1,000) to the week-long event for free.

The free tickets will entitle registrants to get some privileged benefits which include, the keynote and star-speaker sessions, the Tech Tracks which are for IT developers and IT administrators. You will also be entitled to get access to the Expo. One of the most attractive features will be the FOSS Solutions for the disabled.

This year, once again, you will get a chance to brush shoulders with some of the celebrities of the open source movement including Brian Behlendorf, Klaus Knopper (Knoppix), David Axmark (MySQL), Paul Kangro(Novell), Louis Sourez Potts (OpenOffice) and Michael Shiloh (OpenMoko). Besides, more than 15 international and 60 Indian high-quality speakers will share their knowledge and experience at OSIW 2008!
