I'll be in Bangalore again :)
Well, according to the organizers it's just a formality, but "just for the record", I've now officially been invited to the-conference-formerly-known-as-Linux-Bangalore. It will happen Nov 29 to Dec 02, but due to timing overlap, I'll probably only be there from the 30th onwards.
I've already tried to raise awareness for this fabulous event with almost everybody I met during my vivid conference travel. Let's hope I have managed to convince a number of high-quality Linux hackers to consider submitting a paper (and let's hope the CfP will be published really soon now).
