The only thing essential is-- that you make it worthwhile for the people who come:-- (1) in terms of level of knowledge shared (2) and sensitivity to their schedules-- by announcing well in advance and sticking to plan, (3) and by ensuring that it is a "high level" rather than a newbie level-- lot of people-- whether from non-famous colleges or from Arena, MAAC or xyz-local programming course-- would love to come and be exposed to high knowledge-- even if they dont know the basics-- and the high knowledge would inspire many to go brush up their basics. Just a thought... I suggest we experiment with "inspire people to brush up basics by sharing advanced knowledge"-- in next IIT-LUG Workshop. What say ? Would love to hear-- even criticisms and disadvantages... Best Regards, NS --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Do you have another question?
