# India Collaboration Trip
During December 2015 and January 2016 we plan to stay in India,
visiting friends and working with local Linux distributions.

We are both involved in Free Software,
with a special interest in [design][] and [custom][] systems.

Our friends in India have concrete experiences
that we are curious to tap into, and vice versa.

Plans are still rough, but we want to visit these:

* [Hamara Linux][] developers
  in [Manesar][] [near Delhi][Manesar OSM] in the North of India
* [Swecha OS][] developers
  in [Hyderabad][] [in the Northern part][Hyderabad OSM] of South India
* [Vasudev][], [FSMK][] and other friends
  in [Bengaluru][] [in the middle][Bengaluru OSM] of South India.
* [Chandan][] and other friends
  in [Kathmandu][], [Nepal][Kathmandu OSM].

So we do not seek jobs in India
- but we are not on holiday either:
We both have customers back in Denmark
that we continue to serve remotely.
