Place doesn't matter. Its the people behind the event
that really matter.
Ok cool! I look forward to meet the indian hackers! I am in.
"Coolie" is an offensive name for unskilled labourers, of Asian origin
in particular, and it is disgusting to call programmers as "coolies".
The name and site
http://codecoolies.in/ is a poor joke that could only ;
hurt people, in the light of the history associated with the word
"coolie". If the living conditions of programmers are seriously as bad
as "coolies", we need to think of ways and means to improve their lot.
