Yesterday we arranged an awesome first of its kind event “Open Source in .NET | Open Day” at IDB Bhaban in Dhaka, Bangladesh with Microsoft Bangladesh’s immense help. I had two sessions. One of them was all about introducing great Open Source softwares that we have with the community. My another presentation was unveiling my new Open Source project that is subject to another post. Photos of the event can be found at on our Facebook page and here.

The event flow was as follows:

• Vincent Quah – Opening Speech
• Tanzim Saqib – Wilderness of Open Source Softwares in .NET (this blog post)
• Rizwanur Rashid – Data-driven Test Automation – A WatiN Approach
• Kazi Manzur Rashid – Starting an Open Source project from Ground Up!
• Ashraful Alam – Getting People Excited about your Open Source project
• Tanzim Saqib – Project Showcase: NoBrainer
• Omar Al Zabir – Project Showcase: Dropthings
• Omar Al Zabir – Bootstrap your Open Source project to Cash
• Ashraful Alam & Wahid bin Ahsan – EmployeeInfo Starter Kit
• Omi Azad – Wrap up, prize distribution, announcement of .NET Codex.

Thanks to Microsoft Bangladesh for making this event possible. I was truly amazed by the interactions happened with the audience. Thanks to them for making this event a grand success. Electrifying environment, effective sessions, lunch, freebies, free gifts including a Windows Phone, very active crowd – man, this event couldn’t be any better than this.

Here you go a post based on my first presentation. It was a lightweight session. The objective was to introduce popular .NET Open Source projects with the local community.
