'''The country has the second largest number (second only to USA) of | |||
RHCEs/RHCTs and Linux awareness (or lack of it) is not really the case | |||
in point.''' - [http://sankarshan.livejournal.com/11456.html Sankarshan | |||

For the past couple of years, my day job has been consuming 80% of available | |||
time, the rest I have to spend with my family and care for their needs. With | |||
very little time left for other activities (related to FOSS, hobbies, etc), it | |||
is an uphill task to sustain the interests, manage time for FOSS activities. I | |||
got registered for the recent FOSS.in/2006 but could not attend it, even though | |||
it was spread over a week-end. Am seriously thinking of giving up my day job to | |||
work as part-time consultant and involve myself in FOSS activities and spend | |||
quality time with my family and kids, even if it means I have to earn less than | |||
the current pay. - [Ram] | |||
