Thread: Increase of Indian Names

Dear all ,

I have noticed a considerable names of  Indian origin subscribing to the lists.

This is a good sign.

I hope the CXO story and SaiPACS had done its effect.

I have a theory about this.  Basically, say that 1/100 programmers gets
into open source.  That means that as the Indian software industry takes
off, 1/100 of those coders will get interested in open source.  Since
India has over a billion people, you can imagine that ultimately, MOST
open source programmers will be Indian.  Chinese as well.

Look forward to better non-english support :)

Maybe also an effect of Novell having its Bangalore office dedicated as
a whole to the Gnome project, which in turn has some links to Postgres.

So, jumping to a different thread, maybe I'd propose talking to Gnome
people rather than Firefox for synergy ... and the Gnome project is
rather cooler anyway.  Firefox kinda sucks IMHO :-D  And gnome is
probably closer to needing Postgres services.
