nileshch writes "The ongoing community-driven Linux Bangalore 2003 is upto a record of sorts. There are, hold your breath, 96 scheduled talks. That's about 96 hours of open-source talk in three days! The first day with 30 talks is already over with star speakers like Nat Friedman, Miguel De Icaza and Sirtaj Singh Kang enthralling the audience with their refreshing perspectives on Linux and Open Source. Rasmus Lerdorf and Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo! Inc, amongst others, are also scheduled to talk at the event."

    So what. Having more software engineers doesn't make it the capital of open source. Most of them are not open source developers anyway.

    Just typical Indian software engineers with a typical programming job, with the typical bullshitting to cover up their typical incompetence.

    I'd prefer the U.S. be the ONLY ruler of teh world.

    As far as India is concerned, I wouldn't want to live a day in that third-world shit hole.

    No.... the fasct that they are coming out of a third-world country filled with illiterates signifies the end product will be crap.

    Other than stuffing the pockets of unscrupulous CEOs, outsourcing really has no legitimacy - especially with the rising trend of unemployment here in the US.
    Other than that - I am going to say this once and for all. I have YET to see a quality product from a third-world (or communist, as in the case of China) country. My last purchase, a desk lamp, would have electrocuted me on first use had I not disassembled it and fixrf it - knowing the "quality" those hard working honest third-worlders impart.
