GNUnify'09.... excellence exemplified
Gnunify is an annual gathering of the techies.
It is organised by the students of the Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR) in association with the Pune GNU/Linux Users Group (PLUG) to provide a platform for exchange of ideas and knowledge among the industry professionals, students and academia.
GNUnify symbolizes the philosophy behind Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). It makes an effort to unify and strengthen the FOSS movement. Initiated in the year 2003, GNUnify has soared to become an international convergence of open minds. It brings together some of the world's leading speakers to share their knowledge and experience, with students and developers.
Techie-Talk
These sessions bring the who's who in FOSS technologies face to face with the FOSS community. We get to hear the gurus of the industry speak in the series of lectures conducted on different topics running in parallel tracks.
Workshops
Its an interactive session in which individual demonstrations are
carried out to help the newbie to have a closer look at the
functionality and working of the FOSS world by a hands on approach.
GNUnify '09 will have the following tracks for Techie-Talk's & Workshops
- Software Development : This track will broadly cover Web 2.0, Programming Languages, Development Tools
- System Administration : Server Administration, Network Monitoring , Secutiry and more
- FOSS in Academics : For the trainers by the trainers.
- FOSS Philosophy / Promotion : Why ? Where ? & How ? of Licenceing, Community Building, FOSS in Business
Installfest
It provides hands on experience in the installation of several flavors
of Linux. One can get to know about the various technicalities of
installation and configuration. Several IT facilitators are always at
hand to help in case of doubts.
BOF
Being the most exciting of the events, brings down all the experts to
the same stage where they start from nothing and meander their way
through everything. It is an informal meet up without any pre planned
agenda.
As GNUnify enters its 7th year it continues to strive to fulfill its vision of spreading the awareness about the FOSS movement. All in all GNUnify is an experience by itself. You have to be a part of it to feel it!! It's your presence and our pleasure.
