Reaching out to others! Free & Open Source Software, Kannada, L10n, L18n Data Science, Cloud Computing & more…
I didn’t win any race. The picture reminds me of our goal to reach mysore on time and teach and help people who’re interested in Gnu/Linux. Picture was taken by hpn on 21st September while we were on the way to Mysore for Gnu/Linux Habba.
Memories that will last for long cpatured in these small frames!
My Camera awaits to see all these faces once again in upcoming Sampada events.
All the we have got is two more days and most of our preparations are at the end stage. Burning media, taking care of the printing work, working on technical deliverables and lot more. It has been quite a bit of work and things are going smooth so far. Looking forward to catch many new faces who will be tasting Gnu/Linux for the first time.
Between, Hindu covers the story about Habba as follows:
Excerpt:
“A group of volunteers from Sampada, who are actively propagating the use of “Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), are organizing an event on September 21 to educate and create awareness among the people about the free software alternatives available for computer users at the Physics Department Auditorium, University of Mysore.”

There are few more tasks on which updates needs to be sent across. Registrations have started pouring in already. I was talking to hpn and mayakar about “Bulk Registrations” which are happening this time. I mean many are brining infriends along with them after registering at habba portal.
If I want to take a break and look at something green, its bit difficult in Bangalore. It has become a concrete park day by day. A day out in Mysore filled in lots of green into my mind which lasts for a long time. Some of which has been captured in my camera and here they are for your preview. Take a break and go out there and breath fresh.
I was born in Mysore and it’s fun to roam around in Mysore. Land which is still fresh, untouched by the horrible traffic which you can find in Bangalore. You can find few pictures aggressively asking for Kannada usage by multinationals @ Mysore railways station. You can also find few boards which caught our attention for a while. I shall roll them in captions. There are few more pics which are misc.

Hey, we are ready to make it happen. That is what team had to say when we all met at department of physics, University of Mysore. Who is going to get benefited and who should be targeted, what we should/shouldn’t repeat from the last event. These were the few questions for which we tried to find the answers during the brain storming session.
Rest of the album:
Indian Railway is one of the largest Rail network in the world. But it really took more than 25 years for me to check in and enjoy my journey in a train. I had never got a chance before to travel in train. Gnu/Linux Habba volunteers meet gave me an opportunity to feel the ride on train for the first time in life.
Here are some nice picture of my journey, which I found worth share with you all.
It was nice travelling in a different transport media. Had lots of fun for continuous 3 hours. Buying ticket was found to be hard but it was made easy by one of my friend. Thanks to Sunil for picking them up. While we were on wheels, talking, chatting, pulling each others legs, I could see the wonderful nature and breath a fresh hair while travelling towards Mysore. I also found the farmer on his daily “karma” and I was amazed to see people dutifully concentrating on their work without getting distracted by the vehicles moving around them. Lot more pics are on my next post with also an update on our Volunteers meet.
We kick started the preparations and this time, we have lots of people coming up with new graphics works and ideas 
. Sampada community has been updated on this event.
We are meeting in Mysore to discuss more on this event this weekend. Over to mysore!
