  1. Submitted another proposal to #indiafoss #indiafoss2026 for #xonoticindia #xonotic!

    Last time was really, really fun! I met a lot of devs I have known online for a while but didn't even imagine they were in India or would visit an event in my city :D

    I think it's the closest India got to our own little fosdem :blobcatopenmouth:

  2. RE: mas.to/@fossunited/11676440359

    The CFP deadline for the AOSP devroom at 2026 has been extended by two weeks and will now close on 28 June 2026 (Sunday). Looking forward to your submissions!

  3. @vindo I'll also probably be at in Chennai (soon after PravConf) and then of course. Not sure about anything in between, it's been a very conferenceful few months and I need to set aside some time to focus on work 🙃

  5. You cracked the willow, asked for more time on your #IndiaFOSS proposal. WISH GRANTED.

    the sinister price to pay, is that now you actually have to write one! Deadline extended to June 28th! 1/n

  9. First-time speakers are warmly encouraged, especially if you’ve done useful docs work but haven’t spoken about it publicly before.

    Submit a proposal even if you’re still shaping the talk. We’d be happy to see the idea early.

  11. @russss If only there was a conference for conference organizers; we could call it #confconf! ;)

    But in all seriousness, more conferences are starting to steal our #FOSDEM devroom concept and it's working really well for them; e.g. #IndiaFOSS did so quite successfully last year. Never been at #emf #emfcamp so I don't know the programme and space availability, of course.

  17. @rahulporuri @fossunited

    Gonna be niche, but I'd like to see more FOSS services self hosted and make it use by broader community together.

    (just like discourse and jitsi we've)

    But more I think about it I just feel it becomes another hard thing to cling on in practice.

    - Big picture is, make other Orgs or community to self host services on their own.

    After more thoughts I just feel like we don't have that many audience to implement or make use of it :(

  19. Last year, we brought together #CCC, #COSCUP, #eventinfra, #FOSDEM, #FOSS4All Korea, #FOSSASIA, #FOSSNorth, #IndiaFOSS and I am certainly forgetting several.

    If in doubt, poke me if you'd fit.

    And please help us: like a conference? Make their organizers aware of this.

    And, as always, #retoot appreciated!

  23. are there cheap hotels near #NIMHANS #bangalore that do not discriminate by gender, caste, etc? wanted to book rooms for #IndiaFOSS2026 but even airbnb descriptions sound scary

  25. for those who missed the Inaugural #MangaloreFOSS 2026 last week, among other things (like 2 days of incredible talks, the beautiful sea breeze and the banger ghee roasts),

    fyi :) #IndiaFOSS 2026

  27. @Pandya there is only one Free Software UPI app, which is still in development by github.com/librefin-in They did a demo of making UPI payment at #IndiaFOSS early this year, but the app is not ready to use yet.

  29. Would you volunteer to organize a national #FreeSoftware conference in India?

    Many of us in #FSCI who attended #IndiaFOSS or looked at the accepted vs rejected talks felt the focus is more on Open Source / products rather than philosophy or communities. So we want to organize something that is explicitly focused on Free Software and communities.

    I still appreciate @fossunited for organizing it as I think booths are still a great opportunity for projects like @prav

  34. @daemon_nova @liliputing_ they did mention something about it being possible to connect a 5G-capable antenna. Not sure if it's only theoretical or someone's actually done it (the demo device I saw at didn't have it)

  36. Generally, #IndiaFOSS impressed me. It was the right mix of chaos and organization; the crowd was very engaged.

    I gave a talk about #FOSDEM and I had uncounted conversations about FOSDEM, OSS, and how to apply its principles afterwards.

    I do start feeling like an old these days. I mentioned to someone that I was first in #India in 2006 and someone commented were like "yeah, he wasn't alive then". Brutal.

    But good crowd.

  38. Landing in #bangalore / # begaluru a few days ago for #IndiaFOSS, I saw a toilet attendant who had "NO TIPS PLEASE" stitched onto his uniform in huge letters.

    I'd love to understand the reasoning process behind this. I'd have given him a tip out of principle if I had any cash on me at that time.

  40. Me and the gang at #IndiaFOSS 2025! (Post wrap-up pic)

    Even though it's been atleast 3 years since I started going out(I'm practically a normie by compulsion now), I never, ever thought I'd have this much fun outside the comfort of my home!

    @fossunited thank you guys so much for organizing this!
