Kudos to the efforts. But sorry to say, this is really unnecessary. There are hell a lot of hackers in Europe and there is no HN Europe.

Real Hackers in India I know few (over social networks) they don't talk.(You can't see them in foss.in )They just code.!

We are not there yet. so just code! <back to maintain the spaghetti code>

(Disclaimer: I'm a Indian. I'm not a hacker myself yet,I still work in a body shopping "Megacorp")

[Deleted] Few points as its reported as offending.My point is Programming / Hacking has to align with global context.

And in my personal experience I never found any good hackers in the local community, I have always founded them outside of it and I don't expect HNI will have them. If it does Im happy as well.

Huh down voted! I told my view "Real Hackers i know, I admire in India, just code". they don't or won't spend in such community not even high profiled foss.in. That's the truth."

Any way its just a number on site, keep 'em coming ;-)

I agreed with the substance of what you said, as it appears that many others in this thread do as well. Though I did not down vote you, I'm guessing that the quality of your English may have contributed to some down votes.

May be I sounded arrogant? I'm really tired of the community here meet/attended so many people doing "Introduction to .." talks. Discovered later the real one's never attend / participate the "community events" they just code and speak less.

You don't think generalizing about 'the one who work for body shoppers and maintain a big pile of spaghetti code' had anything to do with it?

Personally I was more offended by the unfalsifiable definition of the mysterious 'real hackers in India'.

I'm sorry I have deleted it now. Im really tired of the local community here, found very few interesting and admiring ex dev_camp.I have found many smart people outside this community who code alot.I honestly feel those are real. The one who code alot and then speak. YMMV.
