Nick,
I guess couple of things Radhika left out to mention
- Cost of the entire event was coming around $3000-3300 dollars. This
includes charges for a 20 mbps broadband line from an external vendor,
refreshments for the attendees, posters, audio systems etc (this estimate is
based on a similar event conducted in the same premise few months back. But the
cost can be vary 10-15 % both ways. This is assuming there will be a total of
150-170 participates including around 70 students from the same college.
- Need to know what kind of throughput required for the hack
session(the one we plan for CloudStack we may not require one as mostly we will
provide a USB stick will software loaded. Not finalised yet)
- The college where we plan to conduct this event is a very prestigious
private College in Bangalore and they have conducted similar events though
mostly corporate driven of late.
- There is interest from couple of folks to present on Hadoop and we
would like to present one session on Apache CloudStack.
- As the word spreads I guess we might get more topics.
Let us know if you need any further information. From our end we are good to
help conduct the event.
Thanks,
RamG

Hadoop side: http://www.meetup.com/CloudStack-Bangalore-Group/events/104410272/.
Please let us know if we have missed any items.
Thanks

Do we have enough sponsorship to make the event happen? Not necessarily enough
to make a great event, but enough to let it happen? If so, we should announce -
it's only 2 weeks away and the more notice we give the more people will be able
to make it!
(We can be a bit hazy on some of the details until sponsors are sorted, that's
fine)

Again, we don't need to firm up the agenda in advance! The plan is for a
BarCamp! Themes we need, but we have those. The agenda will be decided on at
the event itself, based on who comes along and what they're all interested in.
