we have been discussing various dimensions of the upcoming floss meet in our college. we have been in the process of building a site and it is almost over. Today we finalised the organising committee which comprises of reperesentatives of our GLUG (me and dilip) then IEEE, CSE department, CSI parent chapter.

We were to start our teaching programme[by NSS] for It @ school today, but a confusion made it impossible and now we’ll have to start only after the first sessionals.
