Early Reflections :AirJaldi Summit 2006

Hi,
After attending, firs two days of AirJaldi Summit 2006, at Dharmshala on 23rd and 24th Oct, 2006, I have just reached at home at Chandigarh.

I must congratulate Air Jaldi Team for organizing such a wonderful and life time enlightening event.

Address by Dr. Richard Stallman, father of Open Source Movement, was quite inspiring and an eye opener in various aspects.
Added to this,presence of young old man David R Hughes, Colonel (Ret) USA, was enough to fuel the motivation of all with single line "If you can connect up by wireless from Everest, you ought to be able to connect up
anywhere"
Interactions with Tracey Lauriawlt,from Canada working with community around through ICT,, Electra from Germany-imparting knowlege about small but cost effective FM Radio Transmission Circuits among community members and Thomas Thaler - a Radio Journalist, from Australia were worth the experience.
And from the very start of Summit, at the gate of Upper TCV, Kaku , Chai Wala was there to greet all, with his traidmark Tea and smile.
Kaku was the last person, who gave us departing tea without taking money and asking when you will come back..
So was Munshi Ram, Care Taker at H.P.P.W.D -Guest House, Dharmshala, who readily served homely food, during our stay there..
