FOSS events are great way to meet new and exciting people, celebrate FOSS and learn a few things as well and it hardly matters that where and who organizes it. Its a plus point though, if the people who organize FOSS events are actually FOSS developers or enthusiasts .

GNUnify is 'Lets do what our senior did to get marks' event. No outcome from students since it launch..
And, what does that indicate ?
It indicates that it is kind of event that runs by students because their senior did. Every year they do fantastic job in organizing, setting up new website and group, calling speakers personally and even treating speakers like 'king' (& 'queen'). However, real outcome for this event is none. Have you seen any student from that college to contributing to foss? It will not happen because entire root of event is wrong.
/no personal bashing here. I've written what I feel and seen (and discussed with many other for same).
