As Amol told, it was a gross mismanagement. No one was available there at 0930 Hrs. We reached Hazrat Nizamuddin station, Delhi @ 1000 Hrs. It was 1300 Hrs when we reached at the India Habitat Center after getting fresh. The stall was set up by Amol and Vinod. We started attending visitors. Yes, there were a few. Most did not know about GNU and FSF-I.

We got too late for lunch so we had to grab food at one of the pub in India Habitat Center “The Diners Club”. It was expensive but food was good none the less. It was already 1700 Hrs. I got back to the stall where I met Abhishek Choudhary who wrote “Hindawi” which is a programming system for Indic languages (scripts). Though it is not a GNU system it is worth mentioning here. Abhishek is currently looking for volunteers to help him port it on GNU Linux systems. More info can be found here.

In the evening all of us attended “Meet the Gurus” corridor party. We had an interesting discussion with David Axmark of MySql about current MySql status, its port on FreeBSD system, its current feature set and other future plans. In all the concluding part of first day was interesting.

While leaving we met Ramki, Sankarshan and other Fedora guys.
