@ Hempal dai Thanks.
@ Sushil Dahal Contributing code is only one aspect of a FOSS community; the greater aim, I believe, is to make people aware of FOSS. I mean, when I started this many of my friends (Computer Engineering students in 2nd year) asked me what "FOSS" stood for and what it meant and why I had choose such a funny name. I had to explain to them what FOSS was and that I did not make that name up. Me contributing code is not going to change that. @ Samundra Shrestha I believe we should meet up. KEC IT Club is quite dead right now, but it is still featured in the college website and prospectus. It would be helpful to rebuild something with a history than create something anew.
