Support meant: * Helping out with volunteers * Helping spread the message * Helping get speakers (if required) * Helping in terms of referrals for sponsorship I see it as a win-win for both the LUG and mukt.in. Hopefully we'll get more awareness from the event and this might translate to more active members. > Regarding the ilughyd-admin. Has anybody volunteered yet? Sanjay's main aim was to help decentralize the moderator's role before going ahead with a core group running the lug. He succeeded partially but the rest is now upto volunteers to decide how the lug runs. > I am facing a bit of a problem with the meets in OU. I stay in >Gachibowli and work in Madhapur.

I am hoping by doing this you will take an opinion of most of people who turn up/or might attend the meets. > It was great when we had the meets in Virtusa. The reasons for leaving Virtusa were: * Heavy traffic near the office (might not be valid on Sundays). * Frisking of all attendees and the requirement to deposit cds, pen drives and restrictions on laptops. (I am not blaming Virtusa, they had a valid point in doing so. I am sure any other company would do the same). It was a paradox that we professed freedom(though in software) and couldn't even carry a Linux CD. Travelling to a region like Madhapur or Jubilee or Banjara Hills might not go down well with a lot of people especially on a sunday. -- Cheers Thejaswi Puthraya http://thejaswi.info/
