# India 2015

Siri and I are now three weeks into our [two months journey][],
by train through India and by bus in Nepal.

During my [[Asia 2011 journey|asia2011]] I promised myself (and [Chandan][])
that next visit to India would be together with Siri.
Here we are,
few hours away from next 20 hour train ride towards Hyderabad in South India,
both with running noses from a cold week in Nepal.

Theme of our trip is [Debian Pure Blends][].
More specifically,
we will meet with distribution developers and designers
to try understand why they fork from (other forks of) Debian,
and how Debian might improve to better serve them
- ideally be able to fully contain such projects within Debian itself.

Distributions we will look into - some more detailed than others - include...

* [[Hamara Linux|hamara]]
* NepaLinux
* SWECHA OS
* [[IT@School|it-at-school]]
* [[BOSS Linux|boss]]

Thanks to the organizations and individuals
hosting us on our journey.
