Linux Manipur's "FOSS 2008" - IT Talent Search 2.0

How important is your first anniversary?
How do you feel when you got the first job offer?
Every first achievement in life is very much significant to everyone and for Linux Manipur (LM), the first ever major event "IT Talent Search" was like their first job, first child, first birthday celebration, first anniversary.

Till the month of January/February there was no plan for having another IT-Talent Search like last year. It was a shocking moment for us.

Hundreds of miles away from all the hustle and bustle of Manipur, located in different parts of the globe and connected sparsely by phones and emails, we know the hurdles to conduct such a competition remotely in Manipur. It is becoming more and more difficult to co-ordinate and the kind of infrastructure and money needed to conduct such event remotely was putting a big question mark on every one of us in the LM team.

But, when we close our eyes and try to remember those moments of IT-Talent Search, we remember those smiles worth million dollars of being a winner in spite of coming second, remember those early trips to make to the venue on time, remember those staying in relatives' places who had come from far-off places just to be part of the event. Remember those stories of the rickshaw puller who wanted to be part of the event? The confidence of young minds, their joy and their dreams to do great are seen in our dreams. Those anxious moments of not getting things on time, those endless discussions, those worries, pains and sleepless nights seems to be so miniscule in front of the sweet moments of last year.

Last Year's Result here.

How can we let such beautiful memories and smiles go so easily? No excuse is worth enough to be given for not having such a thing again. Where there is a will, there is a way. Come what may we gonna stand against the tide to bring that smiles again. We gonna sweat again, put all the possible effort to make the event happen again because we all know deep inside our hearts that impossible is nothing.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
