[ug-bosug] [belenix-discuss] BeleniX - Project Day proposal for FOSS.IN/2007

[Madhu K R]

Yes. I was exaclty thinking of the same.
I think we can ask for 2 days. There is no harm in being greedy. ;-)
Also Code for freedom contest has launched. So I hope FOSS.in can be 
good platform for one set of dry run of opensolaris processes to everyone..
