OSScamp Delhi: Day 1 Updates; Looking Forward to Day 2
A brief update about Day 1 of OSScamp Delhi that I sent to all participants published here for general public, with some notes (included within parentheses) here and there :P
***
Day 1 of OSScamp was fun, despite the low turnout. Instead of focussing on sessions, a lot of informal interactions took place taking forward the social sandbox OSScamps are. (Though the numbers were, in many ways, disappointing, the social sandbox concept really holds promise and is a concept I am going to pursue further. For more on social sandbox, keep watching this blog)
Sessions that took place were:
- Rohit11’s Introduction to BackTrack (An awesome and eye opener talk on Network Security and BackTrack. Follow rohit11 on twitter)
- Jegnesh’s Kerberos
- Suyog’s 3D visualization with MayaVi2 and Mlab (another interesting talk, the projection infrastructure at IIT Delhi was disappointing. Spoiled a lot of fun at the event.)
- Informal Discussion on CSS, Linux, Firefox, Cloud and upcoming technologies (The icing on the cake. Social Sandbox is great!)
On Day 2, we are hoping for a far better turnout (yes, a lot of people have confirmed, don’t be disheartened by todays low turnout) and the following sessions:
- An Ignite session by Rohit Lodha (@rohitlodha)
- Gaurav Mishra’s (@gmishra) 10 simple ways of making money through open source.
- Prateek Saxena’s (@prtksxna) The Semantic Web: OWL, DLs etc
- Swanand Deodhar’s R: Open Source Statistical Package
- Chaitanya’s SLIME: Why it is the IDE of choice for Lispers worldwide
- Srinivasan’s The Recession and Open Source
- A talk on Advanced PHP
- Hopefully a talk on Ruby as well (it is not confirmed yet)

Hope to see you there tomorrow
