What is LinuxAsia trying to achieve this year?
**********************************************

The goals that have been laid down for LinuxAsia 07 are:

Goal #1: Promote open source driven innovation so that India can 
showcase a minimum of 20 globally recognised OSS projects at LinuxAsia 2008.

Goal #2: Accelerate the adoption of Linux and open source software by 
highlighting their advantages, sharing success stories, and discussing 
strategies on how CXOs can gain advantage from both "open source" and 
"proprietary" worlds.

Goal #3: To provide a platform where other organisations with 
OSS-related agendas can hold their own sub-events and network with the 
entire community.

So, we request you to register, participate, and let us know how we 
fared in achieving those goals.

Best Wishes!
