Hi,
Jaju and I talked to Dr. Phatak some time ago, about our plans for the expo, PRC, regular workhshops etc.
He has promised complete support from KReSIT towards the event. He also mentioned a new "Affordable Computing Lab" that will be started at KReSIT in a couple of months ...
August or later seems like a good date, December or May is ideal for IIT. Those are the only two months when accomodation could be available ...
Sameer.
