Hi All,

This is tentative agenda for the upcoming GNU/Linux Seminar in SPCE, Andheri.

Today I held a meeting with Bala and Vinay for SPCE Workshop (Organizers of workshop) @ my office. They were to confirm the agenda by today...

We also discussed the logistics involved.

I have marked speakers for various topics. I would like the confirmation from the respective speaker ASAP with their availability.

However, there is slight chance of change in schedule. Please confirm your availability so as to enable us to finalize the schedule.
