Operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern), the LHC will create similar conditions to those which were present moments after the Big Bang.

The afternoon saw very active participation of the Open Source community members and the effort put in by the speakers was mind blowing. Attendees all the way from Vijayawada and Solapur came in to attend the event. The atmosphere was so full of energy that even the attendees delivered impromptu talk sessions on the technology or the project of their interest.
