Here is a small plan i have worked out.
Not exactly a plan ;-) but it's a start, for sure. I
am a little committed to too many things in January,
but can help with some non-hardware based networking.
Intended Audience :- Anyone interested In Networking
and Security.
Yes, there is an audience, possibly a paying audience,
and either paying or non-paying (fully sponsored)
models can be worked out.
Cost :- No idea (We can go to a couple of companies
for sponsorship)
Right... errrr... but let's be a little more clear on
what we want ^before^ we do that.
Venue:- We can ask IIT to sponsor or MIT bandra.
(Basically any place with
bandwidth).
That's MET, not MIT - let's not confuse them before we
even get started.
Subject:- A few talks and a capture the flag event
to wrap things up ;-)
I say this is the first thing to lock down on: topics,
speakers.
In general, are we talking about limiting this event
to FOSS, or will we address needs of Mumbai's users in
general? Are we talking corporate or all kinds of
users? Are we addressing end-users or service
providers?
Please keep in mind that we can't serve everyone, and
shouldn't try: that will dilute the event and put off
sponsors and audience alike.
Looking forward to this
Vickram
