We just posted this on the FOSS.IN/2007 site, but I thought I’d post this in my journal as well, since not everyone is subscribed to the FOSS.IN RSS Feed:
We simply *have* to put out this post before we go completely nuts! 
Throughout the year, we run into people who talk about the event, but refer to it simply as “FOSS”, as in “see you at FOSS”, “when is FOSS this year?”, “who is coming to FOSS?”, etc.
People – the event name is FOSS.IN, pronounced FOSS (as in “boss”) DOT (as in “hot”) IN (as in “win” or “I N” as in “eye enn”).
“FOSS” alone stands for “Free and Open Source Software”, and we have absolutely no intention of being representative of that entire movement in India! We just run an event about FOSS in India, and we focus on FOSS contributors.
Again – “FOSS” is a movement, while “FOSS.IN” is an event – our event.
So next time you want to talk about the event, please do us the honour of using the correct name, ok?
Thanks!
