Second, wanted to know about T-shirts for the Organisers? It will be good if the Organisers are *distinctly* identifiable at the Conference venue. Third, Aanjhan had agreed to see to the badges for volunteers, delegates and organisers. Was wondering if someone else is already on it? -- Regards Vikram Vincent +919448810822 Bangalore

Funds
by Arun M 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Dear friends, Due to latest events in London RMS had to change his travel plan. Change in travel plan is leading us to a major financial trouble. We need to raise around 1.9 lakhs for RMS trip. As of now we could find Rs 50,000. We are trying our best to raise more funds. It would be nice if our friends here can help us in getting some sponsorship for the event. We will send out a formal fund raising appeal later. regards arun

sources.list, anyone?
by Sajith T S 15 Aug '06

Hello, Can anyone share their apt sources? (Someone in Bangalore, possibly - surely folks here should know the fastest mirrors as far as Bangalore is concerned, shouldn't they? I could have used apt-spy but it takes hours.) Furthermore, is it a good idea to upgrade from Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (the stuff that came in a DVD with PC Quest in 2004 December) to the latest unstable? I have not done this in a long time, so I am a bit worried about the whole thing. I wouldn't want to end up with a broken glibc or some such and be the laughingstock for my Windows XP-toting brethren. :) Thanks in advance. Sajith.

With renewed coordination, communication and teamwork.
by Vikram Vincent 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hello All, Yesterday night, at around 21:15, Praveen A, Aanjhan and myself met up at Coffee World at Koramangala to discuss the progress of the conference preparation. We felt that instead of keeping our discussions to a closed exclusive group, we could improve our efficiency by making our posting on-list and inclusive. A few of our decisions have already been posted i.e., 1. Press meet on the 18th of August. 2. Technical details at IIM 3. Hospitality issues by the SIGMA boys. During our discussions we realised that the reason why things were being done in duplicate is because of the lack of communication, coordination and team work even among the members on the "Bangalore Contacts" list. This lacuna is due to the fact that most of the members are holding extremely responsible positions and hence have serious time constraints. Keeping the above in mind, we have decided to redistribute the responsibilities among those who are more available, with others being able to join in as time permits. The major distributions are given below and this will be further sub-delegated to the sub-committees and the sub-committee in-charges. Praveen A.(9986348565)-- All activities internal to IIM-Bangalore, including the technical aspects. This would also mean interacting with SIGMA boys and updating the FSUG list. Aanjhan(9880497151)-- All hospitality and travel arrangements. He will ascertain the current status of these responsibilities and take it further. Vikram Vincent(9448810822)--Mobilising of volunteers, on-site medical aid, registration+help desk, media publicity, delegate kit, etc... To Anurag: Can you please immediately send an email to all the registered delegates to ascertain whether they require accomodation, to confirm their expected time of arrival and whether they require travel arrangements. This must also become the standard query to all new registrations. To James: Can you please tell us what is the status of "accomodations". Have arrangements been made for the *star speakers*, foreign delegates and volunteers, and local delegates from other parts of India? To Arun M: Some initial funds are required for the following: Press meet on the 18th- approx. Rs.1000/- Phone calls to mobilise volunteers and coordination-approx-Rs. 1500/- Travel-approx-Rs.1500/- Misc-1000/- Thus a total of Rs.5000/- is needed initially. The funds can be sent to Praveen A. For all the above amounts, detailed accounts will be maintained and submitted when asked for. Core group meeting: This has been scheduled to the Sunday, 13th of August at IIM Bangalore at 15:00hrs sharp. Volunteers meeting: This has been postponed to Monday, 14th of August at St. Joseph's college at 17:00 hrs subject to granting of permission. Working people, please do come as soon as office closes. All further sub-delegation of responsibilities will be done in the volunteers meeting so please do not miss it. -- Regards Vikram Vincent 9448810822

Hi Sigma, On 8/10/06, Sigma <sigma(a)iimb.ernet.in> wrote: > Dear Praveen > > Saturday morning most of us have either classes or a worskshop to attend to. > Saturday evening would be fine. How about 6 PM. Please do confirm with us. > Yes. That will do. We are planning to come over to IIMB sometime in the morning(Saturday, 12th August) itself to look upon other issues which we have below. It would be helpful if a couple of you guys could help us out in moving around inside the insti. Our agenda goes like this... 1. In Campus arrangements (Directions, Posters, Logistics) 2. Food and Water (IIMB Canteen???) 3. Stage Arrangements 4. Technical stuff like Streaming, Video Recording, CCTV 5. Security ? (Guess this is very important and has to be discussed) Also we are planning to hold a volunteers meet on Sunday at around 3 PM for people to take up responsibilies at IIMB. Do you guys have any issues with that w.r.t College authorities??
