Later this month I'll be headed back to Bangalore to speak at India's largest Open Source conference, foss.in. The conference has changed names a few times in its history. When I was there two years ago it was called Linux/Bangalore and I had a great time.
Bangalore is a quickly evolving city in one of the world's most important countries. I can't wait to see how much things have changed in the 24 months since I was there. But more than anything, I can't wait to enjoy some real Indian food.
Looking at the list of international speakers, I'm honored to be on it. Can you believe they got Alan Cox? Kick ass!

Welcome back. Things sure have changed around here. How long are you in town ?
I wonder whether you will end up doing more of this?
:)
We look forward to having you here. And not letting you go till the final day is over (B R O A D hint - call ticketing *now*!). If you thought that the finale in 2003 rocked, wait till you see what happens this year. ;)
I'll drop by as well, but I won't be there for the final day, sorry.
@Rasmus - Like Atul said you should call ticketing *now*
The band at the closing ceremony last time was indeed cool, but my travel schedule has been nasty lately and having a weekend with my wife and son occasionally is also pretty cool.
There is a really good resturant on MG Road (I think) called the Tandoor. I was told it was a local favorite. Give it a try if you have a chance. I can send you the address.
I'll be interested to know what you think about Bangalore and how it's changed in 2 years.
Welcome to India and Bangalore.
I started by software career there @ Infosys. Bangalore is always fond in my memory for her weather and Paper-Masala-Dosas. Try it, I think you will enjoy it.
I liked dosas so much that I thrived 1.5 years almost solely on them.
Re: Atul's comment, Jeremy, remember to bring the purple Sharpie for exactly that reason!
Jeremy: Good, I'll make sure the T-Shirts are white ;)
