Minutes Members present:
1. Soumyadip Modak 2. Debasish Das 3. Smita Bhadra 4. P.K. Sharma 5. Anshul Khandelwal (late arrival) 6. Saugata Ghosh In the beginning we enjoyed the scenic beauty of the place for a while from the roof at 12th floor in P.K's exotic apartment. As par the agenda, the main focus of the meeting was participation in compass. Compass event is from March 11th (Fri) to 15th(Mon) at maidan. At first PK briefly stated the history of ilug-participation in compass 2003 (with 3 stalls) and 2004 (ankur bangla presentation). The main task is to get the money for the stalls and the hardware. We can bring some speakers like we brought Atul last time. We can even try to contact someone outside india to come and be a speaker at COMPASS. P.K almost assured that the central hall will be available for ilug-cal. Based on our previous years experiences this time we should be preparing a handout consisting of ilug and Linux related FAQs. We are also expecting active participation from institutions like WBUT and other engineering colleges (like NIT Durgapur). At least we should try to involve such institutes in some way. Regarding hardware, our first preference is laptops insteaed of desktops. Laptops are easily movable and they are much cheaper compared to what they were two years back. So any manufacturer/dealer/sponsor or whoever is giving us the hatrdare should be giving us laptops. Non compass ----------- Besides COMPASS, we also discussed a comparison of using shell script vs gui. One being more user friendly and the other more flexible and powerful. In the whole metting we had two/three rounds of tea. (Special nimbu cha which PK brought from his Keyatala residence) The meeting ended at about 8:30 pm. For COMPASS participation we have to held meetings more frequently, at least once in 2 weeks of more. Please feel free to add or modify any point. -Saugata --- linuxprosun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 20:08:20 +0530, Soumyadip Modak > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Tue, 2005-01-11 at 22:42 -0800, saugata ghosh > wrote: > >> Saturday is *NOT* 16th Jan ??
