Am not too optimistic about this. [2] Convince your college and organize LUG meets in your college, provided all similar facilities and freedom available in our current venue is made available. Good idea. But I have to say IITM is one of the best places to be. The wild beauty and quiet of the place... It is the best place for the meet > [3] Start your own LUG in your college and have LUG meets on Sunday. May be few from ilugc can also participate in your meets. We still won't have people like Kapil ji, Raman and Bharathi. We will just be a bunch of enthusiastic students who keep coming in in cycles. We will keep reinventing the wheel. Also ILUGC is well established. So you will get better speakers. I remember a Portuguese speaker came once to deliver a talk on err... some Skype equivalent if I am not wrong. At every announcement of speeches, I curse my misfortune for not being able to be there. @Venkatraman.S: My college does not offer a PG. And I missed IIT once (my JEE. I really flopped in it. I am not missing it once more). Also IITs are going to be cheaper to study in compared to self financing deemed univs for the PGs and they have a solid reputation too. --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
