Hi,

A heads up ...

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Atul Chitnis listadmin@linux-bangalore.org Date: Sep 5, 2007 10:42 AM Subject: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions To: "FOSS.IN" foss-in@yahoogroups.com

All:

Here are the selected Project Days sessions, in alphabetical order:

* Debian/Ubuntu * Fedora * Gnome * IndLinux * KDE * Mozilla * OpenOffice.org * OpenSolaris

These eight Project Days sessions will be part of the CfP that will be published next week, and people will be able to submit talk proposals for each of them (and the Main conference, of course).

Congrats to the eight projects, and my sympathies as well - having been selected, you now carry the burden of ensuring that you produce many Indian contributors. That means that your sessions have to be structured in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and the take the elevator up :)

A reminder as well: if you are unable to get credible subsessions (talks and workshops) together through the CfP, you *may* face dropping. The same applies to the nature of the subsessions - if they are not contributor oriented (just user oriented) or if we find that the majority of subsessions are by people from a single commercial organisation, we will reconsider your selection.

Remember that to us, the usefulness to the audiences (to bootstrap them into becoming contributors) and the quality of the subsessions comes first.

So make sure that you get it right, in line with your accepted PD proposal.

That completes phase 1 of the process - next is the Call for Participation, that will go out next week, after Team FOSS.IN meets this Sunday.

Cheerio!
