We had considered the possibility of doing something similar to
this the last time around.  One of the reasons why we didn't end
up doing it was because we ran out of time.  Worth trying it this
time?  One of the ideas that was floating around last time was to
have a custom BeleniX CD for this event so that people could just
walk into the tent with their laptops, pop in a BeleniX CD and
participate.

Also, we should get together for a brainstorm session sometime.
Until now, all FOSS.in planning meetings have been happening
within Sun India.  For the first time now, we actually have a
significant number of contributors outside Sun.

If the next BOSUG meeting is scheduled for sometime soon, we
could combine the two.  If not, I think it is worth getting
together sometime next week.

What do you guys think?

Venky.
