FOSS.in/2006 began today. Atul Chitnis gave the opening ceremony talk as usual.
Perhaps the greatest thing that has changed from the previous years is the “key note” address. This year, the “key note” address was given by Suparna Bhattacharya from IBM. She is a well-known kernel hacker.
This is a real good news that the “key note” address is given by an Indian for the first time at one of the popular free libre/open source conferences.
There were quite a few good talks on the first day, especially Philip’s talk on libyahoo2 was very interesting.
Also this time as expected there was a lot of crowd at the Sun Microsystems stall
Frederick Noronha has put up a very good article on Linuxworld about FOSS.in/2006.
