I was there as a speaker in the first “Linux Asia” and reached the hall with a Linux Only Laptop (provided by Linux Asia team, didn’t have laptop then). This one just couldn’t get in sync with the projector. The techanicians over there said - “pata nahi kuch Linux - Vinux leke chale aaye hain” (translation - God knows! some Linux-Vinux he has brought). Finally a windows laptop connected and I did the talk.

@Ankit: The song was created by Mrinal and me in September 2000 - entirely on Linux. We used it as a showpiece and example during the Sep 2000 BLUG meet, where we demonstrated various multimedia production tools under Linux. Because the style of the original song was similar to the style used by the pop violinist Vanessa Mae, we originally called it “Linux Mae”, then “Linux May”, then “Linux Can” (which was more positive).

Is this song, Linux Can!, an instrumental? Coz I only heard tunes, no words. Its real good but I wonder where does the theme ‘Linux Can’ fit in? Or am I missing something? Or is there a story behind it that connects the two?

@ Atul : “Linux Asia is effectively LinuxWorld Exposition (LWE) - they specifically exclude community and focus only on the money.”

Not really. I had a real good time @ Linux Asia even though it is ‘commercially inclined’, if you say so.

Although, FOSS.in sounds like a more interesting event!

@ Swaroop : “Yeah, it looks like a corporate event. After all, Red Hat is on the â€œconference committeeâ€?”

Haha Probably! When I read your message, I was reminded about Szulik’s [spelling?] address @ Linux Asia - There was a Windows screen projected in the background when he spoke!!!!

@ Swaroop: I donâ€™t think Delhi would be a good choice to have an event like this

Why ? :-/

Delhi already hosts a FOSS related conference - Linux Asia - http://linuxasia.net. Having said that, there is a huge difference between that event and FOSS. FOSS is a community event. I heard Linux Asia more of a Corporate thingy.
