You will remember that a while back, we mentioned that we would be doing something for students.
If you are a student whose college falls under the VTU, then the following will be of great interest to you:
http://foss.in/2005/students/vtu.php
It basically is a letter from the VTU, requesting your college to allow you to attend the event (i.e. without penalty of attendance).
This letter has already been sent to 120 colleges in and around Bangalore, and your principals should be in receipt of this.
What this basically means is that FOSS.IN/2005 http://FOSS.IN/2005 is now recognised by the VTU, and that you should both attend it, as well as participate in any way you can (whether as volunteer, delegate, exhibitor in the FOSS projects expo, etc.).
To claim attendance, you have to show proof of having attended the event - your delegate fee receipt will be accepted as such.
Many thanks to the VTU for this recognition, and tons of thanks to Gopi for arranging this.
