Host your very own Devroom at #IndiaFOSS 2026!

Think a room of requirement, appears for those who really need it (and have filled out the CfP)!!

Call for Devrooms:

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 :(

#FOSS #Indiafoss #opensource

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!

@Gustodon the 6th edition of #IndiaFOSS is happening in Bangalore, Sep 2026.
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

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

A small reflection that spawned from a talk I gave at #IndiaFOSS, where I disparaged dashboards. Why did I do that? Maybe I didn't need to?

Defining oneself by what one isn't is an easy trap to fall into. https://aman.bh/blog/2025/i-want-to-stop-defining-by-the-negative

Our talk at IndiaFoss went well, but one specific slide has been on my mind ever since. A reflection on the easy trap of defining creative work by what it isn't, rather than what it is.

@Pandya there is only one Free Software UPI app, which is still in development by https://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.

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
