Well, that is soon going to change, unless you act now. While you are reading this, someone is trying to control what you see, read, download, listen or write on the internet by taking control over the sites you can access! Don’t wait for that moment to happen. Act now, and protect Net Neutrality by signing in for the petition. What is the matter with Net Neutrality anyways? /2014/09/20/maclug-inauguration-at-new-delhi/ Sat, 20 Sep 2014 20:07:05 +0530 /2014/09/20/maclug-inauguration-at-new-delhi/ Today I attend the inauguration ceremony of MACLUG - Maharaja Agrasen College, GNU/Linux Users Group. I was honoured to have been invited among many esteemed guests to light the lamp of this wonderful new beginning. This reminded me how nine years ago I along with a bunch of enthusiasts started JMILUG. I shared my thoughts on “Freedom - Community - Science - Innovation” Four Freedoms Let me begin with the Four Freedoms. /2012/12/24/c-2011-standard-and-current-foss-implementations/ Mon, 24 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000 /2012/12/24/c-2011-standard-and-current-foss-implementations/ Today I got to know that C has a new standard released in 2011. You can find a detailed Dr. Dobbs’s article on the subject. So far I havent come across any Open Source compiler that fully implements C11 features. Clang and GCC are yet to fully support this standard. Clang has added support for anonymous structs and anonymous unions: Way to go!

I wasn’t much involved until I took the task of managing a website for the event. My idea was to have a fully dynamic website where users could login, submit talks, vote for talks and we could manage the content all in a single website. The plan is available here. After a few initial discussion about FUDCon websites here and there, Rahul arranged for a domain fudcon. /2011/10/18/fudcon-pune-6-more-days-for-submission-of-talks/ Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 /2011/10/18/fudcon-pune-6-more-days-for-submission-of-talks/ As of today over 100 delegates have already signed up for the event and 33 proposed sessions registered with us already. FUDCon Pune is an international event and we have speakers from many parts of the world. We are also listed on opensource.com now! Submission Deadline - Midnight, 23rd of October, 2011 IST. 6 more days to go!

This website has successfully been used for organizing a Fedora Activity Day i.e. FAD - II. However its primary motive is to manage the event FUDCon Pune 2011. Needless to mention, this website is built in collaborative fashion, using Free and Open Source software. Based on COD - a Drupal based Conference Ogranizing Distribution, we added extra modules for our needs. /2011/10/14/yay-i-am-going-to-fudcon-pune-2011.../ Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 /2011/10/14/yay-i-am-going-to-fudcon-pune-2011.../ Yay! I am going to FUDCon Pune 2011! /2010/12/20/days-of-foss.in-2010/ Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000 /2010/12/20/days-of-foss.in-2010/ http://foss.in/ I was looking at content faces. They all had made it. Some laughing, some teasing, some pondering and recollecting the past - greeting each other with a hearty welcome “Hi!”. And there some were observing tenderly the atmosphere which was animate instantly, as everyone from far off places finally arrived at FOSS.IN 2010 service apartment. Rahul had reached the airport earlier than us and we met him there. We - I, Shreyank, Siddhesh, Amit, Rahul, Neependra and Anand - were at the airport three hours ago.
