I just received word that there will be a Debian developer gathering in Bangalore, India, on the afternoon of Saturday, August 20th, at the International Institute of Information Technology. The target audience is current or aspiring Debian developers, and interested and sophisticated users of Debian in Bangalore. A registration page is available, and apparently there's an event mailing list.
While I won't be able to attend, I think this sort of low-key, techie-focused, regional Debian gathering is a great idea... and it would be wonderful to have more Debian developers in India!
