the reason for asking is to let everyone know what you people have done. Hats Off to you. Now you have informed about the infrastructure, its upto pycon members to decide. > Real FOSS Achievement according to me will be when my student community > develop software which would be accepted by Fedora/Debian community. > I agree. but for that, people should know about FOSS. you have done that. Please update your college entry here http://demo.ilugc.in/foss-clubs This way, many other colleges will come know what you people have done and they soon start something like this in their college. - balachandar muruganantham உலகம்.net - இலவச தமிழ் வலைப்பதிவுச் சேவை - http://ulagam.net எனது தமிழ் பக்கங்கள் - http://www.balachandar.net/pakkangal Beyond Work - http://beyondwork.wordpress.com/ "கண்டார் உயிருண்ணும் தோற்றத்தால் பெண்டகைப் பேதைக்கு அமர்த்தன கண்.
