The Open Weekends is an effort to bring all the open source communities together to have meetups and hackathons.
We had our first event at May 26, 26. We got talks about Fedora, Antlr4, openstack, wordpress, wikipedia, mozilla projects, firefox os, photography etc. Hackathons for wikipedia and firefox os for the second day. The event went very well. About 70-80 people from various open source / open content communities attended the sessions over two days. A special shout out to Dwarak and team of Mozilla India, for making this excellent event happen. We hope to have more such open weekend events in Chennai regularly.
