Yesterday around 22:00 HRS IST FStival.org website went live! It has very basic information, which will grow in the future.

This will serve as an one stop shop for all the information concerned with FStival and Software Freedom Day celebrations conducted as a part of GLUGOT and GLUG-Madurai. This website is done using Drupal 6.4, with some cool modules :)

I received my "Full Commit Access" to Subversion code base http://svn.collab.net/ on 23-08-2008 01:47 AM IST. It was a long time dream for me to get commit access to a popular Free Software project and it came true now. This made me the 2nd committer in India :) (after Kamesh) You can have a look at http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/COMMITTERS for details. I received my partial commit access to subversion code base on 02-11-2007 01:22 AM IST.

Will try to tweak the CSS of this planet when I find time :)

Last week when the FStival work started in full swing we wanted to make the announcements for the event and thought that the website is too outdated, which ultimately pushed me to do this work. Hence I started upgrading the site from Drupal 4.6.x to the latest 6.3 version. I took the following path in order to make the upgradation smooth (Those are drupal versions):
