I agree with Rajesh. If someone from the industry is = present to
lead, a lot of morale boosting takes place.

Actually, Rajesh, I think doing an entire project from scratch, i.e., designing and
making the SBC, etc. will be much more fun,
challengin= g and interesting as well.

I agree, but I'm sure all the ppl on this list will be willing to
help, = once an actual project kick-starts.
So , come on guys, &= nbsp; was right...there is too much of
bol-bachhan-giri going on. Le= ts do a project. And as I have
mentioned before, you have me as a "bak= ra" to exploit(Trust me, I
can be an excellent Protege). i'm sure ther= e are others who'll join
in as soon as we get things going.
Th= ere will be a hundred ppl contributing, but one of you seniors
are gonna ha= ve to take a lead position.
So? What say?
