Yesterday was one of the most exciting days of my life with Zyxware since the release of the Zyxware Health Monitoring System. The first publicly held GNU/Linux Install Fest in Kerala was successfully concluded yesterday. More reports on the event can be found on the GNU/Linux Users Group Trivandrum Mailing List and the GNU/Linux Users Group Trivandrum Website.

I was totally blown away by the response of the general public. This was felt even more when I realized that people were actually showing more interest in the Install fest than at the nearby gaming event. The event was a big success in terms of the awareness it generated among the public and the exposure it gave for the Free Software Community in Trivandrum. There has been a couple of enquiries from schools in Trivandrum to conduct similar Install Fests at their campuses.

Normally when we gluggies meet together we have a lot of fun. The event was even more fun because of the spirit of camaraderie and bonhomie that was felt throughout. We are planning to hold a review meeting at Kanakakkunnu Palace tomorrow to discuss about the event, to figure out the weaknesses and deficiencies and to set out strategies for future events and future activities.
