--Why Opensource ?
--Opensource ... Openness is more than software/source code its Open hardware, open document, easy learning and more !!!
--Problems ! : Image rendering , searching , data mining, Virtual reality ... more.
--Folks using Opensource are having more real knowledge, Students who setup lab is knowing more ...that is real experience. !
--Try to grab Fundamentals of computer science, Not any particular language "Speciall Java" but learn how Computer works, Try to Hack machine lang.
--19 yr old president, 15 yr old kerneld dev., 11 year old super computer programmer
--These folks are same as you ! Why not to study more, Digg more Software !
--More Advocacy of opensource ! :)
--Well-meant misconeptions "Teach Java, and Teach microsoft" "Teach specific Product"
-- Summary
-How software works -- Exchange of Research
Thankks and Questions ?

Hi,


So we have announced the BarCampMumbaiOct2007, after we held meeting @ IIT-Bombay. The Team is just crazy and suggested New Name.!

Is Venue/Date is changed. ?
No. BarCampMumbai2 will be at same place, SOM-IIT Bombay, Oct 13 2007. Only Name is changed.


Is it Second BarCamp in Mumbai?
NO.

Then why BarCampMumbai2?
Because we really don’t bother about Name.

and really I was confused about BarCampMu and BarCampMu2 etc, which are University Level BarCamps, and few OssBarCamp, I was confused which BarCamp will this, i.e. I was just lost in count…

Any Additional Motive of Name change ?
Yes, it is a clear indication by BarCampMumbai2 Team; they will run the infinite loop starting from 2……. So Don’t Wonder if you find BarCampMumbai3 after few months.

I have registered for BarCampMumbaiOct2007? I need to re-register again?

***The most Frequently asked Question ***

What is BarCampMumbaiOct2007 ? Is it Something Related to BAR

It is IT Technology Event, will be held on Oct-13-2007,@ SOM, IIT-B campus.

It is NOT Related to the Bar you are thinking…!!! :(

If you are aware of Programming Concepts, then many programming Books are using Terminology of Foo/Bar etc,

“BarCamp’s Bar is this Bar.”

please don’t try to Feed above statement to any Machine Learning program, it will be confused. {i have edited for ease of machine learning program.}
