Dear Mr. MM Babu Narayan,
 
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday with our team .  This is a
tentaive list of  technical folks who can work on various tutorials
 
These tutorials are aimed at programmers in the industry and engineering
students .
 
This will aim at increasing the technical excellence of programmers  in

Speaker Profile	 
Abhas Abhinav leads DeepRoot Linux, a Free Software Business he founded
seven years back. He believes that it is very possible to build an
ethical and profitable business by developing and servicing Free
Software exclusively. He sees no conflict between the freedom that you
provide your users and your ability to build a business on that. 

Abhas started his excursions into technology about 20 years back on
PC-XTs and his interest and passion in computing has only grown
manifold. He picked up his most basic datacom and online skills
participating in BBSes at a young age during the pre-Internet days. Free
Software and GNU/Linux caught his fancy about 10 years back and he's
been a user, developer and advocate of Free Software ever since.

Gnu Linux : Animation technoloiges/ Service oriented architecture

speaker : Harish K singh , 3i Infotec

I'm can give a talk on Animation technologies and Service Oriented
Architecture. I recently gave a presentation on JavaFX at BOJUG
<http://bojug.wikispaces.com/page/diff/home/27234671>  which was held on
27th June. I can take this further with animation technology available
on JavaFX. I've covered client server technologies at BOJUG earlier.

I have long association with IEEE Bangalore, who introduced me to Unix
in '89 which is a subject nobody was offering at the time. This could be
a way of contributing to IEEE Bangalore chapter. Do keep me posted.

<details to be posted shortly>

 Understanding Gnu/Linux Networking  : 

Speaker : Senthil S , Worked on various data networking technologies in
the industry for the last 9 years.

 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ipv6.html

The Gnu/Linux kernel supports many Layer three (L3) protocols, such as
AppleTalk, DECnet, and IPX, this tutorial  discusses the one that
dominates modern networking: IP. While IPv4 will be described in detail,
IPv6 will be only briefly mentioned as needed. 

I will not spend much time on the theory behind these protocols, with
which you should be somewhat familiar, but I will describe the
implementation in Gnu/Linux. I will focus on aspects of the design that
are not obvious or that differ substantially from other operating
systems. I will also explain the main drawbacks of version 4 of the IP
protocol and show how IPv6 tries to address them. 

Therefore, while there is both some background theory and some code


Prerequisite : I expect the reader to be familiar with the basic IP
protocol behavior.
