The last LUG meeting was held in Mar/2011, the attendance was rather sparse (IIRC < 15). I am all for more students attending such meets (e.g. from what I understand there is strong show up of students @ the ILUG Chennai meetings). I have not seen such an effect @ the Mumbai meets. Perhaps the difference could be that most colleges in the Chennai area do have local LUG initiatives and the LUG meetings are held regularly. Can the student members in this list do some PR work in their respective institutions and let other students know about such events? The more the interest, more the opportunity/motivation to organize the meets. My 10 paise. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
