Wow. It’s really nice to see some conference activity in Chennai. Only, this is an un-conference. I will be attending and speaking at BarCamp Chennai on 8th and 9th of April. What is a BarCamp? Check this out.Suffice to say that it’s an informal gathering of geeks, where the only spectators are the speakers themselves. That is, every is supposed to participate in one way or the another. Can’t wait to see this happen.

I sometimes feel bad about missing out on the great conferences that happen around the world. Well, things like Foss.in, LinuxAsia and BarCamp are a little consolation – until I can afford to attend the biggies If only somebody sends me there in return for some interviews and good reporting of the event… sigh. Anyways, if you’re attending BarCamp Chennai, See you there!

Well… what would you do when one of your predictions comes true ? You toot your horn! Came to know about this while I was travelling. Congratualtions Rails & PragProg! Those two Jolt awards were truly well deserved!

Can’t wait.
