The Osmosis unconference is an experiment to bring the emergent & social conpcepts of unconferences, barcamps into the corporate mainstream.
What is Osmosis?
Osmosis is MindTree's annual technology festival -- the celebration of the nerd within all of us as we like to call it. It is MindTree's way of celebrating technology through showcasing achievements, through collaboration in form of discussions and various events & contests.
Osmosis, started in 2005, is into it's 3rd edition this year and has achieved great success in its first two editions in all aspects - scope, size, content quality, participation and excellence.
Osmosis runs for more than a quarter and consists of the following:
- Technical Paper Contest, weekly Community Quizzes, TechWorks Contest, Design Patterns Contest, Code War, Knowledge safai stalls put up by various communities, practices, verticals within MindTree.
- Invited talks/events where our partners & technology leaders come and share their knowledge with us.
- Student Paper Contest, where we reach out to more than 50 engg colleges, MBA colleges for paper wirting contests. This gives the undergraduate students an opportunity to exercise and improve technical, written and verbal communication skills
Osmosis culminates in a grand finale in December with Key Notes, Panel Discussions, Invited talks and CTO sessions.
