- well, lets not keep shifting venues. HBCSE is an ideal location, and lets
have it as the venue for meet and everything else related to ilug-bom.

- well ...please do so. everyone are welcome. the meets are not restricted
to linux techies. in fact we want more people to come.
as for the lug expenses: seems like a fixed sum is a bad idea. so lets have

commercialising ilug-bom.
