We are also on the lookout for someone who can talk on QT/GTK programming. We may then accomodating this one and get rid of some other talk.
This would really be beneficial. We may need to rearrange the sessions, depending on the availability of speakers for the orphaned topics.
Please suggest if the schedule is good enough. We have tried our best to
pack enough power!

^^^^^ I think I can fit the bill here. I can also talk on security. I am the author of 'Protect Your PC' (Digit Special) which was on computer security with home-users in mind. You may want to find out more about me by doing a google on my name.
Secondly, I am curently in Nagpur. If you guys can get me in and out from here to your college and then back to Nagpur again, things will be OK with me :)

Warren, I don't think that a second installation session is required Instead, we should try and incorporate a variety of different topics.
