Pls post the start time, end time and possible breaks in between for lunch and tea/coffee (+/-15 mins). Then we can align topics and time allocations for each topic.
The typical starting time is 10am ... anything earlier tends to be inconvenient, but not impossible, at the remote center.
The time slot for lunch depends on who we order it from. The IITB guest house is pretty dependable, but it can only serve 20-25 people, and the timings are restricted to 1pm to 2pm. If some external caterer, I guess we can decide the lunch timings ourselves.
I believe, this has to be done on or before 15th Aug.? Then we may have to hurry about allocations of the topics.
Philip, Sameer, are u decided about which topics u will be taking?
It would be nice if I could be left out of the talks ... I was pretty enthusiastic about it, but too much of other volunteer work catching up on me! Philip agreed to take my place instead.
Any ideas on the written material that we give out? Should that just be print-outs of the slides being presented? Installation and Desktop tour might actually require some explanatory notes that the participants can refer to, later.
Amish, can you help handle the content generation? A couple of other people had also volunteered for that at the KReSIT meet ... can they come forward please?
I don't understand. If CEP is not buying the CDs from whom do we recover the money for the CDs? I believe the fees are collected by CEP and all expenses will be met from them. So effectively CEP will be buying CDs from us? or not?
Yeah, I guess you and I are saying the same thing :)
We currently have 200+ CDs with us. If required we can burn more of the same. When do u expect registration to start? How r u going to manage CDs for the remote centers? Are u planning to send the same from here?
Registrations have already started officially, and I have been answering a few queries.
DEP can arrange to send the CDs to the remote centers. I am told that will be cheaper and more reliable, since they have standard arrangement with a few courier agencies.
Sameer.
