Two very interesting events coming up in the next two weeks (weekends, really). Foss.in and Bangalore Barcamp.
For the uninitiated, Foss.in is a gathering (literally - there are scores of people) of people interested and/or associated with Free and Open Source Software in India. It is happening this week: 24-26 November. I went there last year - thats where I got hooked onto Ruby on Rails. Let me see what bites me this year. There's an Andrew Cowie session, that I will attend for sure. Be sure to register if you are interested.
The Barcamp is happening on 2-3 Dec, look here for more details. Barcamp is strictly for noisy, opinionated geeks. All participants, no attendees, they say. Piece of trivia: The name Barcamp came up as a response to O' Reilly's annual, by invitation meet called FooCamp. The House of Lords and the House of Commons, if you will. Pass the word around for the commoners to meet, and ask them to register here.
Another piece of trivia: foobar, acme corp are called Metasyntactic Variables. Wow, I didnt know it had a name. Think of all the people I could have confused via my design document or spec.
