Open Source India Tech Days is one of the largest open source event which is organized every year by Forum for Open Source Initiative in India. The event last year saw over 2500 participants coming from different regions of the world. The conference not only promotes the Open Source usage but also reflects the benefits of Open Source Business Model.

This year OSI Tech Days will be organized from September 19 to 21, 2010 in Chennai, India. It includes a lot of cool workshops on PHP, Drupal, MySQL, Zend, Cloud Computing and so on. Serving professionals and beginners alike, this conference is a “must attend” thing. To make things easier OSI Tech Days is offering 500 free passes on first come first serve basis.

OSI Tech Days has a very rich heritage. In past the event saw a lot of eminent speakers like Mark Shuttleworth (Founder of Ubuntu and Canonical Ltd), David Axmark (Co-Founder, MySQL AB), Danese Cooper (Chief Open Source Evangelist, Sun Microsystems), Louis Suárez-Potts (Community Manager, OpenOffice.org ), Klaus Knopper, Creator, Knoppix and Brian Behlendorf (Director, Mozilla Foundation). Funded by the technology giant IBM last year OSI Tech Days is a perfect place for professionals to show off stuff they are good at and of course, speakers get benefits too.
