That's a good, Vincent . Just check if any of your
college contacts have a free slot for a talk next
weekend (24 th and 25th March).

I couldn't get the contact from ChithraKala Parishad
yet. But today once again try Computer Society India
(CSI) chapter. This time I just gave call and just got
lucky. 

The CSI (Bangalore Chapter) manager Mr.Sridhar was
very helpful and when I explained that we want to
arrange talks as part of roadshow leading towards
GPLv3 Conference he said he would happy to help us.
They were having a talk on distributed computing today
evening and asked if I could make it and talk to the
Secretary and other officials of CSI (Bangalore)
chapter. Unfortunately I couldn't make it there on
time.

I think we should give them a visit this weekend,
would anyone wanna tag along ?

Cheers
