"Office suites, anti-virus, mail servers, web-servers, security, application services, intrusion detection and encryption are some of the areas where we are looking for participation," remarked Brijesh.

'The association is inviting participation from companies or individuals offering OpenSource solutions. This invitation has been extended to hardware vendors as well. Some other sessions planned at the Linux Pavilion include hands-on training for dealers and engineers on how to install Linux, device drivers, peripherals and setting up various services on stand-alone machines.'
