FOSSConf'08 held in the MIT Campus from Feb01-03, 2008. I was a part of the organizing committee for this event. The event was successful and we had very good response from the students community. This event was organized by Ilugc and NRCFOSS. We got help from AUKBC and Computer Society of MIT in organizing the event. I designed the website http://www.fossconf.in/ for this event (in drupal) along with Sowmya from NRCFOSS who helped in the CSS and the theming stuff. I initially registered as speaker for "Personal Website with Drupal" talk which was scheduled on 3rd morning at 10:00AM. But unfortunately, since Jha Atul who is the speaker for an Introductory talk on Drupal could not make it to the event, I was asked by Mr. Raman to handle the talk on Saturday evening, which made me miss a part of the GIT talk and the subversion 1.5 talk given by Kamesh :(

Thanks to krish (mukt.in) who gave me a hint on playing dos games inside a GNU/Linux box. Now am able to play Dangerous Dave in my Debian Etch box with the help of 'dosbox'.

I ve played this game in my 6th standard in the school computer labs. This was the first game which attracted me, and still today am very fond of this game. Some of the other games I would love to play are Prince of Persia, Pacman. But I don't want to use 'Doze' for playing these games. 'dosbox' is the best alternative, to play these games I guess.
