“Gnu/Linux habba” did bring in around 200 people who were eager to checkout how they can type in ‘Kannada’ on their laptops and computers here @ SERC, IISc campus today.

It might take a whole day for me to tell how did it go. Mean while have a look at some pics which we took during the event. More in queue.

Thanks for all those who turned up and took advantage of this event.

Festivals! The very word brings a smile on our face. A time to set aside your worries and other negative feelings. A time when the cultural diversity of India sheds that ‘diversity’ feeling and gets into the celebration mood. This is why festivals have become an integral part of our life , because they bring into life everything positive: positive thoughts, happiness, moments of togetherness, etc.

Each festival carries a message which reminds us as to why we need celebrations. A festival marks the start of something new, a feeling, a value added to our busy lives. Festivals let us cut those strings attached to life, our hectic lives, at least for a while…, letting us soak in that feeling of freedom from what we say ” everyday routine” .

Gnu/Linux Habba owns this top level domain to have the logs of activities. This web space will also have the blogs of volunteers involved in the event where in they will be sharing their experience

Hari and Shashi have already started blogging here and I’m due to start my own version. Find some pre-event photo galleries too.

We would love to get this website updated on the fly to give a live commentary about the event. We hope this website inspires lots of other similar events across Karnataka.

It was an awakening event organized by software professionals, students, teachers and others. Candlelight vigil for Document Freedom.

It’s we who will decide what is needed for us and for our future. Ensure you have enough freedom and don’t let any one dictate what to use to read your own documents.
