I attended blugmeet this September 30 (my second blug meet — also second meet after a long break). This time I sit at registration desk. I left early from office and reached there by 5.45 (I was the first to be there, then came Surjo Das then Devdas Bhagath then Gopal V and his Yahoo Team (3 guys) and altogether 19 guys).

Meets v/s BoFs ….contd

It was a really nice meet as I could get to know some more of those online folks. I met Tejas Dinkar whom I had mailed some times back about arranging a FUDConf (Fedora Users and Developers Conference) during next (06) FOSS.IN. The discussions started with blug.in website content. Then we discussed T-Shirts for FOSS.IN. I reported about some problems with planet.foss.in DNS (now solved by Atul Chitnis). Then we discussed about Cities (comparison between Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi over Dinner) and Traffic and other stuff. The discussion is now to move away the meets from Akshaya. Amit Sharma offered a room for 25 folks in blug non tech mailing lists in Indiranagar.

We stayed back after the meet and a whole lotta topics from gentoo to evolution to Miguel to fedora to Mplayer … came to discussion. Shyam was defending Gentoo’s way of doing things and there was Sreyas in support for Suse and Tejas for Fedora… I didn’t realise that mplayer doesn’t need X to run ! and I tried it after coming back. Mplayer rocks !! Shyam droped me at BTM after that.
