Linux Indore 2008 – A Huge Success !
Posted by Ankush Acharya on November 16, 08
I guess…..the last post turned fortune in my favor 
Well guys and gals…. Linux Indore 2008 was a huge success…..13000 was the number of crowd (approx.)….Unbelievable !….. People taking Open Source seriously !!
Things to be noticed were -
1) People more interested in multimedia stuff in LINUX
2) Certifications available ?? ( a lot of guys came, asking for the details )
As always, the Dignitaries, including Directors from various colleges got actively involved in the Quiz Session and what better platform can be other than this to thank them. Unbelievably 80% of the answers received from the crowd were correct ( I told you …people are taking open source serioously !! )
The event wrapped up by 6:30pm…..and we rushed for dinner to JAL ! ( the hardwork has payed off ! )
Last but not the least…..hats-off to Prabhat Sir and Mayank Sir for smoothly shaping up the event and to the complete LINUX Indore crew who converted the event into a huge success !!

Hi Infy,
I good to hear that the efforts finally paid off. People back at indore are seriously involved in open source and making efforts to know more about it .
My suggestion is , apart from the marketing the open source products to educational institution, the real success will be in incorporating the open source philosophy with the corporate or the business world. Please do make efforts to tap that section of our society.
Keep the flag high for the opensource

Gr8 work all you people. This was really huge. I suggest you people try for sponsorship and subscription from various Linux business companies like sun, novel, redhat etc. for further events. This will make your efforts financially worth, help you to keep the momentum alive and will make you more updated.
Keep it up !!

@Aditya: Very well said…the ” JOSH ” is required throughout the year. That’s what we are lacking, nevertheless some more plans are in the pipeline, waiting for the right time !
@Computers2007: We are in talk with NRCFOSS, Chennai. Let’s hope the thing materializes.
Thanks, keep commenting !
