yeah, i also talked about this with subir dai and he was positive about it. we were thinkin to raise this issue in the upcoming meeting..
imho, it'd be gr8 if we have this competition in the school level. sometime back CAN used to organize such contest, n there used to really cool hackers participating.. (i can tell this coz i was there too.. :)) we can have a yearly contest, with maybe (running) trophies n all.. have a preliminary round, select few from them, give some extensive trainings n some time for the finalists to prepare for the final. n have a tough final round.. i believe we can really find lots of Torvalds' here.. lets discuss this in our next meeting.. regards, jwalanta.
