Folks

I have been working on this idea and concept for some time now. Since, my early open source game-dev days (early 2004), I have felt the need for having a pan-india indie game development community. Me and Yadu kept discussing it for so long, its hard to even recall. This all happened while we kept jumping projects on Sourceforge.net and then Launchpad.net.

November 2008, saw the setting up of a mailing list on Google Groups. I called it Indie Game Developers India (InGDIn) community. With no active promotion taking place, the community kept growing at a snail’s pace to the present day 32. That was until yesterday.

On September 2, 2009, Yadu and I, we have finally come up with the InGDIn Community formally. Currently, the website is under development – so we have an active presence on Facebook. See the InGDIn Page on facebook and become a fan as well (just to stay updated). InGDIn is also on twitter now! Follow us!

To propel the whole idea forward, and give us momentum, we have also come up with the idea of DiningCamps (organised by InGDIn). The objectives of DiningCamps are three-folds:

1. Create a platform to interact and network with people interested in game development – create a talent pool
2. Create a platform to showcase one’s work, find team members, investors and publishers – create an indie marketplace
3. Have loads of fun while doing the above both

A lot of stuff has still to be planned. Check out the event page on facebook – DiningCamp 04.10

A lot more will follow… keep your fingers crossed!

Have fun!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you desperately need an answer but don’t know who to ask? Or that all those you could think of asking have no clue, but you do need an answer? Well, Aardvark is meant for you? Aardvark provides you with a platform to have realtime conversations with friends around topics that you have questions about. This can be way much more efficient and helpful than searching the net. Aardvark uses the latent knowledge people have, which cannot be caputred on a web page. All of this, without downloads. Just email Aardvark or send it an IM, and help is on its way.

Still alive and breathing. Highly disorganised though.
Need to post a lot of stuff since April.
Peace.

The OSScamp community announces another chapter of India’s biggest unconference on open source. This time the Chennai community takes the initiative.

OSScamp Chennai March 2009 is scheduled for March 13-14, 2009 at the Chennai Trade Center. It is being organised with the OSI Tech Days 2009.

With the growing trend to open source and a higher awareness and tenacity to open source, Open Source is now a reckoning in India. In our efforts to promote Open Source Implementation and Development, we now look at Chennai to take the initiative and take us a step forward.

The alignment with OSI Tech Days will result in a confluence of Geeks and the Demi-gods of Open Source in Chennai. OSScamp Chennai will bring these together in an informal, unconference environment.The camp will thus be a great place to share stuff you have been working at, challenges that you have faced or the innovations you are making. For the newbies, it will create an immense learning opportunity as they can learn and discuss open source tools and technologies with the front runners of the same.
