hmm...subject sounds like 4 people will get dates in Linux-Bom 2003. *runs to sign up for it* ;-)
seriously, something in early-Feb to March-end would be great. If in April, it clashes with school exams. May-June, with exams of most colleges and July with engg. college exams. Note that imho getting engg. college students is *very* important as from now on, Linux (as in C on Linux) is compulsory for all engg. students. So we might have a new generation of Linux users out there who already have a good reason to be familiar with it.
August might be suitable (with Independence), but I feel it's too far away and the efforts will be more complacent. What I think is better is to have a sort of mini-Expo in Feb-Mar (taking care not to clash with the one in Kerela), so that we get to know how to work it all out...sort of trial run, really. And *then* have the main expo in August (with theme of freedom?). So basically, this will help us prepare ourselves for the big one, get to know each other, and generally have good fun...it'd be hard to achieve perfection at first try, anyway.
anyway, I agree that a consensus on the dates need to be reached soon.
