Kind of surreal, considering all the hooplah about Our Man Bill's visit to
India recently, laden with gifts, but the Government of India has just
officially endorsed and sponsored the massive Linux/OSS conference 
Linux Bangalore/2002. See
letters from Ministry of Communications and Information technology 
here
and here.

If you don't like reading drab notices, maybe you'll enjoy reading about 
it this way.
There are 5 parts so far, but we are nowhere near the end yet.

The essay on the website is excellent - it needs to be read widely.
