Conferences

November to January looks like will be a very hectic phase for me at work. Working on a paper for the CCGrid conference to be submitted by November 15. Then there is this new idea I am working on which we are targetting for a paper submission by January.

Of course there is also the Linux Bangalore 2005 conference in the first week of December. We may have talk or two on Grid Computing and Virtualization.

I recently read about an IBMer having to resign from his job because of his comments about IIPM on his blogsite. IIPM has sent him a legal notice and apparently threatened IBM that they would stop using Thinkpads if the employee did not take his comments back. What a sick thing to do!

Hari, Welcome back to blogging after a hiatus of 1 month!

The stuff about IIPM shocked me. It is hard to imagine why an institution would go such a long way in trying to chase just an individual blogger. Everyone knows that it is unsafe to write about our own employer, unless we were praising them. I try to follow that very carefully. But writing about any institution in general, now that's another thing. Looks like freedom of speech is a myth, especially in India.
