hi

I am organising JNTU LUG meet.. I am s.pavithran a student and a FOSS lover ... I came to foss.in and Linux bangalore. I am really inspired by the way a community meets ....so that enthusiasm paved the way to create a LUG for my university ... JNTU LUG ... It has matured in 3 months to a community of 85 members!!! So the same enthusiasm made me organise a meet at hyderabad... and so far the response was positive ... This is the community of the total university ... I hope you would come ... *
