Re: [pakgrid] Feedback from FOSDEM '13

 

Asalam alaikum,

I am glad to see that there are people who think on the lines of arranging stuff for Pakistan and giving back to our homeland despite being abroad: a sign of "hope".

We at Web Science and Technology IBA (http://websci.iba.edu.pk/) recently organized something on these lines at IBA, Karachi. It was basically a Computer Science Summit co-located with first ever Data Science winter school in Pakistan. You can find some details here:

Thanks Dr Salar, 
Yes there are various free info sec /IT conferences in EU , for us living in EU it is easy to cross the borders but i was more concern to have something similar in Pakistan . 

--- again , i mean pure technical tracks no IEEE style snow bowling or IT-expo kind of marketing stuff.

Assalamo Alaikum Wr Wb,

Last week i was invited to talk at FOSDEM'13 . It was my first visit at FOSDEM and became  amaze to see around 7000+ geeks on weekends. 

BTW: it was free event and no registration was required for attendees.

Can we arrange the same event in Pakistan ? I mean no stalls and marketing talks , just pure technical tracks.
