Anish, you raise an interesting point. Do you have a set of notes/plan
drawn up from these conversations with the companies who were not keen
to sponsor the hackfests? A hackfest/workshop would be successful if
there are specific agenda items which are owned/driven by individuals
and continuing the theme from a later email from David (King) - has
there been specific reasons why GNOME contributors from India (and in
India) have not been able to get together to make things happen?
