Landing in #bangalore / # begaluru a few days ago for #IndiaFOSS, I saw a toilet attendant who had "NO TIPS PLEASE" stitched onto his uniform in huge letters.
I'd love to understand the reasoning process behind this. I'd have given him a tip out of principle if I had any cash on me at that time.
Generally, #IndiaFOSS impressed me. It was the right mix of chaos and organization; the crowd was very engaged.
I gave a talk about #FOSDEM and I had uncounted conversations about FOSDEM, OSS, and how to apply its principles afterwards.
I do start feeling like an old these days. I mentioned to someone that I was first in #India in 2006 and someone commented were like "yeah, he wasn't alive then". Brutal.
But good crowd.
