Thanks Paul, actually there is no hassle / interaction with the police for you at all. Just something we have to do as organizers. To everybody else, if you are on a tourist visa ( or if you are Indian), its all right not to fill the form as we don't need to send your information to anyone in that case. But we would still like to know your dates of arrival & departure, the hotel you will be staying in, whether you will attend the hackfest, whether you would like to take the day trip etc. This will help us in organizing and in providing you with any assistance if required. So please mail me this information. Regards, Koustubha Kale Anant Corporation Contact Details : Address : 103, Armaan Residency, R. W Sawant Road, Nr.

Hi Kousthuba, (cc-ed all foreigners I know will participate)
I'm quite annoyed by the gg docs you just opened. ( https://docs.google.com/a/biblibre.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEE2LUVkRDVOSlluMnRmaFMtbHkzLWc6MQ#gid=0if )
It start by: "Also in case of foreign nationals, we are required to submit this information to the local police. "
As you probably know, most of us (all ?) come to india with a "tourist" passport. So we're not supposed to be here for a conference ! I don't want to have any problem with your local police, so I won't fill this document unless you convince me I should !
But of course, i'll be at the hackfest (& ready to teach, hack, do many Koha-related things), and I'm interested by the Mumbai trip, so you can count on us 3
