Indian cricket is going on a lean patch. I think Sharath Pawar has done a good job in analyzing the route cause of the problem. I don't mean to say that Gaguly is a great batsman who can really turn things around by himself. But according to me he is a good leader who leads from the front and support his subordinates. That is the main reason Viru, Bhaji, Zahir, Yuvi etc backs him very strongly. (Zahir, Balaji payed the price for backing him and Viru,Bhaji and Yuvi narrwly escaped becs of the Dalmiya Vs Pawar politics). Ganguly was an acceptable captain for all the team.But is not going well with Chappel. I think Chappel is looking for a DUMMY captain. I don't agree with Chappel's experiments. I think some people are good at some positions. Only very few people can adapt to all positions like Tendulkar or Dravid. At the end of all experiments all of our batsman lost their form. Now there is no other go..SOS... Zahir, Laxman, Kumble and Ganguly back. :)
Ganguly's come back is a real surprise thanks to Vengsarkar. I feel he should made as a captain. I am sure that he can rebuild the team and bring back the confidence what Indian team is lacking now. Let us wait for the Test to start.

OpenJDK@FOSS.in
This is first time I am blogging. Let me introduce my self my name is Raghu K Nair and working for Sun Micro systems.
I would like to share my experience in FOSS.in. FOSS.IN is India's largest Free & Open Source Software event (http://foss.in/2006/info/Main_Page) and held annually.This years event was held on November 24-26, 2006, at National Science Symposium Centre of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India. SUN micro system a platinum sponsor of FOSS.in and had 8 talks on various sun open sourced products.
Sun booth showcased Open Solaris, Glassfish, Derby, OpenJDK, Portal Server, Looking Glass etc. I was part of OpenJDK team. Sun recently (Nov 13th) GPLed Java :) (http://openjdk.dev.java.net). Currently Compiler and Hotspot are out. Demos are based on JSR 269 (annotation processor API- public spec) and Tree API (former: internal- Sun Proprietary). Demos shows how you can enhance the javac features using the APIs open-sourced implementation.
Around 120 people have visted OpenJDK booth. Most of the people were from application development background more of a java user. There were lots good questions came up in the discussion. But most of the questions were already covered in Open JDK FAQ. (http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/faq.jsp).
Let me continue this topic in my next blog..
