Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing'

Posted by Roblimo on from the halfway-around-the-world-in-20-hours dept.

This Slashdot interview has a little twist to it. Instead of using email, I'm going to relay your questions 'live' to people I meet while I'm here in New Delhi, speaking at LinuxAsia2004. Offshore outsourcing has gotten a lot of attention on Slashdot (and NewsForge) lately, but I figure that from this end we ought to call it 'onshore insourcing' instead. Feel free to ask other questions about 'geek life' in India, too; I'll ask as many questions as I can of as many people as I can, and post their answers when I'm back in the U.S.

    Say "Thiik Hay, baaii?" to the Hindus (in the North)

    Say "Sat-shri A-kal!" to the Sikhs

    Say "Asa-laam Alaykum!" to the Muslims

    Ask them if it chaps their collective arses that they're supposed to feel guilty because some morbidly obese pizza hound in the Valley area wants all the benefits of free-market capitalism without the down-side.
