"We -- Pavithran and I -- left [[Hyderabad]] in the fireworks of the Festival "
"of Lights celebrated throughout India.  Night train to Goa and later next "
"day another more ordinary train to Mengaluru."

"Mengaluru was originally intended as my only stop in India.  Local Debian "
"enthusiasts organized a Mini-Debconf at a University some hours from "
"Mengaluru, which I wanted to attend and stay in the area an additional "
"couple of weeks to engage less formally as well with people in the area."

"But turned out all the \"local\" participants that I was in contact with via "
"Internet while planning my travelling resided at other parts of India, so my "
"actual trip ended up involving the two other cities Hyderabad and Bengaluru "
"as well, both located one day by train from Mengaluru."

"It was a nice conference.  Well organized, yet flexible enough to change "
"schedule mid-way when interest in a few unplanned topics emerged.  The "
"hosting university provided meeting room, computer labs and accomodation "
"from visitors from outside Mengaluru.  One other international visitor "
"attended: Christian \"Bubulle\" Perrier from France, giving a talk and a "
"workshop on localization -- his specialty in Debian."

"I gave a talk on customizing Debian, clarifying the difference between "
"derivative (sliding away from Debian) and blending (aiming for inclusion in "
"Debian).  I also gave a talk on the FreedomBox box project, and held a "
"workshop on using my script \"boxer\" to build a custom distro.  The "
"workshop became quite a challenge: Amazing thunderstorms caused frequent "
"power outages and internet connection was mostly unavailable during the "
"session, leading us to spend most time constructing a creative ad-hoc "
"network combining ethernet, wifi, sneakernet and 3G, to share my "
"pre-existing approx cache package of Debian packages needed to use boxer."

"Attendees from C-DAC and I looked at how their Debian derivative, BOSS "
"Linux, could be more tightly integrated with Debian.  Thanks to the "
"Derivatives Census project and comparison work by Paul Wise, it was quick "
"and easy to get an impression on the size and types of derivation resulting "
"from the C-DAC development work."
