Linuxchix India had its first meet up at Mumbai on January 5, 2008. Priti, Tazz, VivekVC, Jagdish and I were present at the meet, at CCD Shivaji Park, Dadar.
It went really well. Check out the minutes of the meet and some pictures. Find out if your city has one, and if it doesn’t, plan one! 
So, foss.in/2007 is over.
It was fun, mostly with all that hanging around and fooling around in the stalls and expo areas. Plenty of swag – badges, stickers, CDs, caps, mugs, pens and ofcourse t-shirts (some got umbrellas too), lots of new people to meet, hellos and how ares with old ones, some awesomely amazing food (courtesy ramkrishna) and friggin’ cold Bangalore.
Some highlights from the trip were the freedesktop sessions, lightning talks (well, I did not know potatoes in an omlette tasted so good), those hilarious jokes at the dining table every day, puliogare rice, an awesome linuxchix.org.in BoF, kushal’s weird way of clicking photos, the konqueror party, hogging sessions at food street, full halls, OLPC opening contests, the-laptop-with-maximum-stickers contest, arguments at BoFs and ofcourse rusty’s finale. As always, foss.in organizing team and the volunteers did a great job. Flickr is flooded with photos.
And ofcourse there are all those stupid and witty jokes that hit you when you’re surrounded by a bunch of geeks. We’ll keep a summary of them for later.
Linuxchix.org.in is planning for a BoF at Foss.in/2007. Runa did the poster and banner (check ‘em out!), and Vid is helping with publicity.
If you are a linuxchix, or someone who appreciates what the global linuxchix does, and want to help with the Indian linuxchix, or have any ideas, please help us on the ideas and suggestions page, and of course, be there at the BoF!
The exact time and date (its on Dec 6th) of the BoF shall be put up as and when it is decided. Stay tuned.
