Fishbowl discussions for DevCamp

[openbala]

All,

FishBowl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishbowl_%28discussion%29)
discussions are part of the agenda in any BarCamp style events.

FishBowl in short is a group discussion with an audience. The chairs
will be placed in a circular order and whoever is interested to speak
can come forward and sit in one of the empty chairs. At any point in
the discussion, any participant can get up and walk off, if the topic
is irrelevant to them.

So, we need some topics to 'debate' and 'discuss' in Fishbowl. Topics
that matter to developers.

Here are some of the suggestions:

a. the transition from clusters->distributed->multi-core (cluster)-
>distributed(cloud)
b. man vs machines
c. open source vs closed source.
d. the decline of PC and the rise of gadgets.
e. Indian contribution to global software innovation

etc. etc.

if you are passionate about a topic that you want to discuss among
your peers, let us know in this thread.

(Having the topics known in advance will help participants to be
prepared)

Thanks,
Balaji
