GNUnify 08.. Unparalleled Success (Spreadfirefox Post)

The Annual Open Source Festival of Symbiosis Institute of Computers Studies (www.symbiosiscomputers.com) called GNUnufy (www.gnunify.in)
was held on the 8th and 9th of February. Among the Prominent Guests were David
Axmark , Co Founder of Mysql and Brian Behlendorf, CoFounder of Apache.
This year, We were lucky to have Firefox Take Part in the Event. They
sent Anant Narayanan to conduct a Mozilla Hackfest and he also give a
lecture on Mozilla Prism.

The Mozilla Hackfest was such a popular event that instead of
having the estimated 90 participants in the Lab for the workshop we had
to accommodate over 225 people in the room. Hence we had about 4-5
people sitting behind a pc during the workshop. And we had to turn so
many more people away because the room was just to crowded .

All the Participants of the Mozilla Hackfest were given Firefox
badges. courtesy of Mary Colvig. Also during the Mozilla Prism talk, we
had a packed room with no room for the people to sit! It was really
amazing. People are really interested in Firefox. After The seminar
quite a number of participants/delegates expressed their interest in
Writing addons for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Some of the other events which took place are, Install Fest, Where
the participants are taught how to install the various flavors of
Linux. A detail description of the various events can bee viewed at http://gnunify.in/event_details.php

Thanks, Firefox for adding flavor and Colour to the Event!!
