mukt.in v2 report :-) – An experience “delightful”!

Aug 10th

This year, I made it to the event, after I came to know about it while hanging around on IRC in the Official Google Summer of Code channel. Interacting with the people in there, I got a chance to get involved and volunteer for tasks related to the event.

Considering most of the time I was occupied with work for GSoC, I managed to confirm my talk and attend the event for the whole of 3 days.

Event: mukt.in v2 2008

Venue: CSE Department, Osmania University, Hyderabad.

Date: 1-3 August 2008. More >

Being introduced to Sahana was something that happened to me over an year back while working for my academic project, where I checked out Sahana and got to know about it.

With Google Summer of Code 2008 I got a chance to *actually* work and contribute ..

And while talking and working with guys at mukt.in, an idea popped up suddenly when krish said, “Hey AJuOnLiNE, why don’t you give a talk on Sahana“. I thought it was a great idea, but the event being in a different city and the dates of the event being quite some time ahead, I wasn’t really sure if I would be able to make it.

But then I had the Google Bangalore office meet up and I managed to extend my stay for mukt.in and not to mention the “You should go for it!!” I got from the Sahana main-dev list and my Sahana mentor, Fran!

So here I was giving a talk on Sahana to the students of Computer Science Department at Osmania University, Hyderabad and speakers from the FOSS Community, IT Professionals, people highly experienced than me and in short it was fun pHun!

mukt.in is a FOSS promotion event which attracts audiences who are Newbies, Students, Professional, FOSS Advocates [not lawyers ] , and speakers from other FOSS Projects/communities… This year the venue was Computer Science Department, Osmania University, Hyderabad. It was a 3 Day event, 1-3 August, 2008.
