First things first. Photographs are here.

Praveen did an awesome job of coordinating logistics and arranging everything for the meetup. I guess that by now he keeps a checklist in his mind and ticks off items with incredible speed.

The downside of having a meet in the office is that one is tempted to sneak in and out and that is precisely what I ended up doing. The only session that I did sit through extensively was the one of Santhosh and Hiran. Discussing the gaps in user experience when accessing Wikipedia and other websites in local languages and even from non standard browsers, they did a nice analysis of the three foundations - display, input and rendering/printing. Additionally, discussing about the status of work that is being done under the umbrella of the Silpa Project it was probably the most interesting conversations that I've sat through in a while. And that was reflected in the conversations initiated by Erik immediately post to this presentation touching upon the need to build a collective that produces useful tools, widgets and APIs that are of immediate consumption to all and, also work across platforms.
