seminar at BMSCE
by Nirmal Thacker 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

hello lists! A seminar was held on Saturday, 24th September, 2005 at the BMSCE library seminar hall at 11:30 AM. i would only like to express my gratitude to the 4 speakers for coming down to our college and conducting the event. the 4 speakers were: Praveen Dilip Pradyumna ( they were delighted over Prady!) Thejesh Thanks to Laxminarayan too! We had a few visitors from the lists too, one of whom i can remember was Mr Dinesh, a very interesting person. Thanks Arky for this all started with a single mail by you! My feedback for the seminar is mainly from the staff of CSE and ISE. Students generally have no fixed opinion. this saddens me. Most students lack is a sense of initiative and a pinch of enthusiasm. Nevertheless such events inspire a few guys and therefore i think is necessary and should be more frequent. Thanks everyone again! it was a wonderful afternoon! Nirmal Thacker

Technical Fest at BMSCE
by Nirmal Thacker 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

hi everyone! The BMSCE, CSE dept has scheduled a technical festival for the 15th of october. since this is the only place (the list) i get to meet a lot of people to meet from the industry, i would love it if some of you guys who run your own companies or work at one could go through our sponsorship brochure which i have attached. (and try to resist our offers!) i personally feel that coming down at your offices , meeting you guys, having a chat and showing you what fine boys we are would double the effect of the brochure! lets meet! contact me on 98802 81847 . regards, Nirmal Thacker

FOSS Seminar at BMSCE Basavanagudi on Saturday 24th Sept and we are meeting on Thursday
by Praveen A 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi all, I'm happy to announce the FOSS seminar on this Saturday (24th Sept) at BMS college of Engineering Basavanagudi. This activity was planned for SFD (10th Sept) but couldn't get a confirmation and we were in touch with Nirmal Tahacker ( third year CS student at BMSCE ) and now the date is confirmed. The agenda of the seminar is 1. Introducing FOSS and its advantages especially to students 2. Move forward with Education project ( http://fci.wikicities.com/Education). Collect feedback and setup a continuous process to enable User Driven innovation 3. Introducing alternative to propietory software (especially to electronics and electrical students) 4. A technical talk (anyone ready to come ?) Now Dilip V <http://dilpu.net/> ,Thejesh GN <http://techmag.biz/>, and myself <http://pravi.co.nr/> volunteered to go there. We are looking for some more volunteers. This Thursday (22nd Sept) we are meeting at Cafe Coffee Day in Brigade road (next to the Petrol Pump ) at 6.30 pm. Any ideas and volunteers are welcome.

seminar at bmsce
by Nirmal Thacker 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

hi list, well i ve been in touch with praveen and rakesh regarding the seminar at bmsce. hopefully we may have it this saturday. unfortunately for praveen, could not reach my hod's cell since it was forever out of reach. anyways we are in need of speakers. i think a maximum of 3 speakers should do, but thats upto you guys. please decide on this and let me know. i also need some way to contact one of you guys. someone who would actively co-ordinate this seminar with me. rakesh has been pretty busy lately. my no is: 9880 281847 if one of you contact me during college hours( 7:30 am to 2:00 pm) by SMS i would call you back from my hod's room. she is insisting on talking to one of you , but her cell....ah whatever.... we hope we can do it this saturday, but lets not rush it. it is necessary to let enough no of students know about the seminar for which i think we must have a few posters before a day of the seminar. A small suggestion- when you guys have decided on the poster can we have an addition on it? it would be just our club (protocol) logo . please let me know asap on this lastly, we are going to have a computer science festival in mid october at our college. this is the first time the CSE dept is having a fest of its own. If any of you guys working , are interested in sponsoring us at the festival please get in touch with me. the slabs have not yet been defined but will surely be attractive! cheers! Nirmal Thacker

howtotalk at meetings
by Kanti Jadia 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi All, Am glad i could find this on PLUG ( Pune GNU/Linux Users Groups) We should all be aware of the way we present ourselves at meetings in FSUGs or User Groups. http://plug.org.in/articles/articles.php?howtotalk The way we put our thoughts does matter a lot. Most of us are technical people and we tend to miss a couple of points mentioned here. Any feedback ?

We marked SFD in Goa only today (at St Xavier's College, where we took the opportunity to build up a new, nascent user-group) because of the Ganesh Chaturthi long holidays last weekend. And, we'll be continuing at the Exhibition of Computers and Allied Products (little Goa's largest computer trade fair) on Sept 23/24 at Panjim's Hotel Mandovi.
