Posted by timothy on from the bring-no-doz dept.

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."

    Unless you're already in Bangalore studying, you don't have to worry about being sent to conferences. You'll have a hard enough time trying to remember if the order was a double or triple skinny grande mocha latte.

    Finland is good place to freeze your balls!. I mean winter here kills. And not talking about those penguins and polarbears all over the place. Bangalore is propably much better, at least your piss wont freeze before it hits ground.
