The brainstorming did begin with a rant about the lack of an Indian download mirror for SF.net, somewhat along the lines of the JAIST download mirror. It then veered off towards providing a platform for students - India (and student) specific software being mirrored on an Indian "Sourceforge".
Creating an indian mirror is not such a big deal. However commiting bandwidth for a popular mirror is extremely difficult (read costly) in india. There are several debian mirrors in india, but very few of them are open to public.
