GNUnify '09 Banner

GNUnify is here with us again!. The Annual Open Source Festival organized by Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies & Research (SICSR) is just around the corner. GNUnify is India’s Premier Open Source Event. Last year i was lucky to be inolvled with GNUnify since i was a student of (SICSR). It was an event i can still remember. There’s no feeling which can be compared to it!. This year will be the 7th birthday. As you know the number 7 is said to be special! so expect to be dazzled this time!

GNUnify is basicaly grouped into 4 tracks, They are

1. Techie Talk: These sessions bring the who’s who in FOSS technologies face to face with the FOSS community. We get to hear the gurus of the industry speak in the series of lectures conducted on different topics running in parallel tracks

2. Workshops: Its an interactive session in which individual demonstrations are carried out to help the newbie to have a closer look at the functionality and working of the FOSS world by a hands on approach.

3. InstallFest: It provides hands on experience in the installation of several flavors of Linux. One can get to know about the various technicalities of installation and configuration. Several IT facilitators are always at hand to help in case of doubts.

4. BOF (Birds of The Feather): Being the most exciting of the events, brings down all the experts to the same stage where they start from nothing and meander their way through everything. It is an informal meet up without any pre planned agenda.

Lest I forget This Year’s GNUnify is on the 13th & 14th February, 09– You have to be there!
