FUDCon India
by nikhil bharadwaj
Hi,
I was looking at the fedora project website and surprisingly found that we did not have a FUDCon in India since a long time. So shall we plan a FUDCon this year.
Lets make it a small but very dynamic conference.
Please give your valuable suggestions regarding this idea.
Thanks & Regards,
Nikhil Bharadwaj
