FOSS.IN -the epilogue

We returned from FOSS.IN/2006 yesterday night and the moment I alighted from the craft and switched on my cell phone, i got a call from the local newspaper, The Hitavada. They wanted to interview Tarique because they discovered him thanks to the IANS Feed from Fred Noronha. They covered it in today’s paper

The event itself was a huge success, interacting with friends always has an exhilarating affect on me – despite the extremely painful foot, I enjoyed to the hilt. The only regret is managing all the paper left me without attending a single talk – but then, I will be able to see the slides and hopefully the videos too. Photographs are scattered all over the net, one just has to search and so are reports in journals, blogs and press. The FOSS mugs were cool, Kalyan’s calenders (The official FOSS.IN Calender) got very good response and I am told people want more of them, I am happy.

And in another news – the X-ray report says my foot bone ain’t broken -so i should be up and kicking dancing in a couple of days time 🙂

      1. I didn’t realize until I met you, and then another friend who has suffered, just how bad the effects of chikangunya can be….I do hope you recover soon. And with your hectic schedules, you can’t get much rest either!

      1. On my flight from Indore to Mumbai (on the way to the US), they asked me to fill that feedback form yet another time. I asked if they had one of those airplane models and I got one. 🙂

  2. nice calendar

    the calendar has a real nice choice of pictures. thanks. the mug was cool too…i passed it on to one of my friends whom i met up with in b’lore. i can spread the word by mouth about foss.in but hopefully the mug will do its part in the part of country my friend comes from…not b’lore. besides
    1. i don’t drink in mugs
    2. my friend does some nice doodles over mugs and teapots

  3. Was great to have you over. So sorry for forgetting the orange lemon chicken. Wish I could send some over.

    Take care of yourself. I’ll let you know if I open Shiok in Nagpur. 🙂

    1. Madhu, that meal was absoloutely lovely – the fragrance of that lovely rice is haunting me 🙂 No worries about the lemon chicken will keep coming to Shiok for that one.

      Having Shiok in NAgpur would be ultimate!!
