Subject: [lb/2005] Event Announcement


Dear FOSS Community,

My apologies for taking so long, but some things just needed to fall
into place.

On behalf of Linux Bangalore, it is my pleasure to announce this
year's event.

As announced last year, the name, venue and scope of the event will
change from this year.

To stress its focus on Free & Open Source Software (FOSS), the event, 
conducted by Linux Bangalore, will be called

             FOSS.IN

and hence this year's event will be called

             FOSS.IN/2005

My apologies to all those who fell for my earlier red herrings, and
that should teach you not to place bets. :)

I know that I promised you Palace Grounds last year, but we found
that to be just too drab and "conventiony".

Bangalore is a beautiful city, and it would be a shame to have an
event, that will see participation by people from all over India and
the rest of the world, in a location that doesn't present our city in
its best light.

Therefore, FOSS.IN/2005 will be held at the Bangalore Palace, from 
Tuesday, the 29th of November, to Friday, the 2nd of December.

Yes, that means that the event is now four days long.

And yes, that is *the* Bangalore Palace that we are talking about.

There, now you know it all.

Or do you?

Nope, that's just the start of things.

A number of things have already fallen in place, some are about to,
and some are still under discussion on the mailing list and in the
IRC channel, and you can see some of the things whiteboarded on the
event wiki.

There is already a series of pretty exciting announcements waiting in
the pipeline. Starting from August 15th, 2005 (if you are not from
India - that's India's Independence Day), the website will, every
day, carry more information about the event, leading up to successive
milestones.

Our first milestone will be the release of the Call for
Participation, scheduled for the end of next week.

I look forward to all the discussions that will start on the mailing 
lists. A link to both the mailing list and the event wiki can be
found on the website.

You *have* figured out the website's URL by now, right? :)

For now, I wish you all an enjoyable extended weekend.

Atul
