----------------------------------------------------------- From: spark Message 1 in Discussion It will brilliant if this actually happens. Sir, if you could speak with Dr Krishna Kumar and this would work out then Pooja and me could also try and come down for teh first meeting if we can schedule this on a weekend. Maybe coming weekend or the next. I think some introductions are required here : Mr Jayakrishnan is the Director of Xtend Technologies. he is known for the many talk he gives about system internals, assembly, viruses etc. He known for his work with the famous shellsock application that had challenged the old VSNL internet monopoly that once existed. Mr Jaykrishnan has been awarded the MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award by Microsoft this year for his expetise in c++ and the MFC. This is the MSDN India web site: http://www.microsoft.com/india/msdn/ And this is the MVP page: http://www.microsoft.com/india/mvp/default.aspx You all know Sajay ofcourse. Sajay is our Community Star :) We could schedule some basic intors about .Net and maybe see how we could get the user group to grow in the future in the first meeting. It is important that people share information and build up into a cooperative technical community rather than form islands of disjoint information. The UG would help in this. So if we are going to have a UG meeting lets all try to coordinate the effort. Please do let your technically inclined friends know of this also. If we could fix a venue and date then we could plan out the topics inform a small interested crowd and get started. Do mail in your thoughts about this. regards Roshan James Microsoft MVP. (ps. its the first time i am using this sig anywhere :) ) ---------------------------- Hi, <x-tab> </x-tab>I have been lurking on this mailing list for some time... trying to get an idea of what is being discussed before putting in my views. Congratulation Sajay for obtaining the Community Star Award.... I know it is a bit late.... but then this is my first post in this group. :-) <x-tab> </x-tab>I was looking at the recent posts regarding possible meeting venue for the Cochin .net group and the requirements put up by dolly... "We will need a computer and a white board (black would suffice as well :) ). In the future may be a projector too.". I was thinking over the requirement list and ended up with the obvious... the best candidate for such a venue would be a "computer institute" and we do have many institutes here. <x-tab> </x-tab>One institute that comes to mind is Amrita Institute of Computer Technology (AICT) Cochin. The institute has all these facilities and the director (Dr. Krishna Kumar) is extremely interested in the latest technology and what is more, is a very down to earth and practical person. I don't know if their institute policies allow for such meetings to be held there... I can always ask him. <x-tab> </x-tab>The only issue I see is that the institute is located slightly off kaloor (around 1 km) and getting there is difficult unless you have a vehicle... Roshan, it is actually quite close to your house.. right?
