Thanks a great hardware innovation, had seen a Xs4all geek gal build a
keyboard out of neatly layouted stones on ground ;oP

Well, as I was planning for calling up another GNU(s) Grazing meet in
the comming weeks, we can as well have a talk by Sudhakar.Please kindly
check with him. 

As for the head count,you already have one head (a empty one) here.

Whoever loves to meet up for another GNU(s) Grazing meet and perhaps a
talk by Sudhakar poke your head here for the head count. 

I think we need a place, coffee shops won't do this time.Does anyone
have a good contact who can get us the hall in Computer Society of
India,Bangalore Chapter or someplace where we can meet.

Moreover there is Freedom Software day coming up in september, Can we
have some event this year.

Cheers
