This is a three day event with its own proposed competitions which students can attend. Those interested will definitely attend. (Particularly since schedule shall be prepared in advance. Repeats can be planned in case of any issue). > I mean to say , we will definitely devote full 2 day for foss but many will > not be able to devote this much amount of time (to attend ) because there > will be too many events. Aim is to use the tryst machinery also to spread the word. It would be difficult to get so many people from outside. As it shall be part of tryst, some advertisement shall go with that itself. For students attending tryst there is always accomodation available in hostels (for a nominal fee) which attending students can avail (I think). Hence it makes more sense to have during tryst. > Last time I got this type of complain when we organised one of our workshop > on parallel to techfest. Complaints will always be there. You can't keep everyone happy. :D > mid Jan 2009 is a seems to be good date to me, ( Its our 1st birthday dear > Gajendra :P ) As anniversary special on 12th January (the birthday) that semester's basics workshop can be done. > we should organise foss event at big scale and maintain its quality, people > will come from any place. > This is big scale with possibility of administration support for an event where its taken for granted outsiders will be there. A win-win situation. Regards Gajendra
