India has a very very large number of libraries but have limited understanding about open source software and their usage and applications in lilbraries. Holding such a prestigious conference will serve as an effective tool for such an event. I am an active researcher on use of open source software in NCT region of Delhi and hence strongly feel need of such a conference in India. I offer our institution as the host for this conference or even my full support for any other institution in the country wish to host the conference. Looking forward for a favourable reply.
