9) Php

I can support for the above technical stuff (Python , Ruby  & DB) in English.

I can speak about History of FOSS, other stuff in english. But I
recommend you people, please
talk about the theory of foss should in their mother tongue ( Hindi ).

Then only audience can taste the core of FOSS. :-)

I shared the thread on OSScamp Chandigarh as well, lots of FOSS enthusiasts from Punjab on that list.
In addition to OSScamp Solan on 19-20, this camp will also be useful to bring together lot of these enthusiasts on both events.
