We started a small concept called “RandomInk” a bit over 4 years ago. It wasn’t meant to do anything more than provide like minded folks a place to swap ideas around a common platform. The planet came a bit later. It started small. In fact it started small enough for someone to comment “you have that small number of feeds and call yourself Planet FLOSS India ?“. We did. Or rather, this fine young man did. He has been the supreme overlord on that site / domain and has done things without been asked to. And I really don’t have to thank him for that (well he did get me excited about the idea in the first place 🙂 thus cementing his job as the admin_for_life).

4 years seem like yesterday and yet it has allowed me to have the honor and the amazing excitement of reaching out to and meeting a whole lot of really wonderful people. Some of them think like us, some compel us to think in newer ways. And it has been a really awesome journey. We have changed hosting providers twice, changed webmail interfaces thrice, suffered from some crude attempts at breaking-in thrice, changed the look twice and a number of other smaller bits and pieces have come up around the site.

Here’s to us !!
