How about FOSSible or ITs FOSSible '08?
Just stuck me, why do all FOSS conferences in India have there
names/acronyms in English ?
If you want an audience solely from TN - use tamil.
If you want people even from other parts of south india, let alone north
india - to come in, stick to english.
Language chauvinism is not practical here. It is even a little silly as all
those unreadable tamil posts to the list show. They all show up as ???? or
otherwise mangle my shell display, and as I cant read tamil anyway I just
dont bother :)
