Open Source India (formerly LinuxAsia) started in 2003, with the mission to accelerate the growth of adoption of Open Source in Asia. Till date, the overall mission of Open Source India remains the same. A key attribute of Open Source India is that it tries to bridge the gap between the ‘community’ and the ‘industry’. OSI Days is the crossroads of all things open source, bringing together 3000+ of the best, brightest, and most interesting people to explore what’s new, and to champion the cause of open principles and open source adoption.

OSI Days 2010 promises to be the richest conference experience in the series. The conference focusses on FOSS Developers, Architects, IT Managers, CXO, Academicians and Students and serves as the platform for discussing various open source concepts, technologies and projects including Mobile Development, Web Development, LAMP Stack, Business Management, eGovernance, Drupal, Javascript, Databases, Hardware, etc. Check out the conference website for more details.
