Open Source

Hi everyone…… I have been working in Open Source technologies for over 2 years now…… and more than a year in a professional setting…… I was quite unaware of the various initiatives being taken by people around the globe…… rather the whole concept of the Open Source is relatively new to me…… but now, thanks to the exposure provided by my company, I am begining to see the advantages and need of Open Source…… it is still surprising to see how much enthusiastic people are about it, and I still don’t fully understand how they make money out of something they are giving away for free…… but I like it anyhow, because it gives me the power, the tools, the flexibility and the support which I need to be creative and productive…… it automatically instills a feeling of sharing and helping others

But this is not why I wrote this post …… there is an unconference being organised by OSSCamp (similar to BarCamp) which is going to be held in the month of September in New Delhi, India…… the theme is Open Source

Not only am I going to attend the event, I am going to speak in it…… the details are not yet finalized but you can find the tentative list of topics here

 

Hope to see you there…….

Hello world!

I welcome all of you to my Blog. This is my first post and I hope to make this blog a worthwhile visit hereafter. I was really hesitant in kicking off this blog as I generally am not able to squeeze out the time to maintain a blog. More than that, I am often boggled by questions like – is it worth sharing, will it really help someone, is it bit too amateurish, etc etc. But thanks to a good friend of mine, I finally decided to give it a try and I hope it won’t be stranded like my other blog .

Look out for this space if you want some technically inclined stuff.
