IRCTC, browsers and then some

without comments

By all accounts IRCTC seems to have lost their mojo. Does anyone know how to help them to get it back ?

UPDATE: As of 29th August 2007, it seems to be working.

Give some love to Mozilla for the Project Day

without comments

Seth’s blog has some hesitant steps towards proposing a Project Day. Do please go over and give the Project Day proposal some love - Mozilla (through its various products) have been defining and changing the way we access the web commons. This is the time to show support.

Finally…

without comments

Nearly there. After around 6+ months of discussing, poking, cajoling towards an OpenOffice.org Regional event in India, there is a Proposal now in place for an OpenOffice.org Project Day. It is there on the foss.in mailing list and we expect that it will be accepted since it is fairly well aimed and clear. How does it go ? Well, here’s the short bits:

+ there’s a keynote from Michael Bemmer

+ there’s a presentation/talk by Louis Suarez-Potts

+ there are ample talks, show-n-tell around the following: ODF, OO.o architecture, UNO, Extensions, L10n-ICU-Indic, Dictionaries among other things.

Join us to discuss more about what we plan to do  on the mailing list.
